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.
