I did a presentation on KMC many years ago and one of the things I remember
finding surprising in my research was that the transfer from the
incubator/warmer to mom's chest should be done in a standing position to
reduce stress.  I believe it was in Susan Ludington Ho's work or Gene
Cranston's.  How many times do we see this happening in the NICU?  I don't
think I ever have.
