Just got back from Uganda and saw impressive work with prematures using STS
and BF! Was a delight to see the babies thriving. Once baby is stable the
mom is taught importance of STS (kangaroo care) and baby is breastfeeding ad
lib, they are sent home. Return vss to clinic weekly until 2.5 kg, then
monthly to age 2.
Reminded me of the early videos of STS/Kanagroo care from South America.
