  Giving premature babies a chance for a healthy start to life | UNICEF Ethiopia

KMC is an intervention in which mothers put their premature babies skin-to-skin on their chests and wrap them up in a pouch. Skin-to-skin contact with the mother helps to stabilise the babies’ body temperatures, steadies their heart rate and helps with breathing.  (...) To increase access to high impact essential newborn care interventions, the Government in collaboration with its partners has been implementing several facility- and community-based newborn care interventions.

  WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific notes progress on healthy newborn infants, antimicrob

As a result, immediate newborn care practices have drastically improved in Cambodia, China, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Viet Nam. In participating health facilities, 72% of newborn infants are now placed in immediate skin-to-skin contact with mothers. Nearly half remain in skin-to-skin contact through the first breastfeeding, and four out of five are exclusively breastfed in the first days of life. However, only 7% of preterm newborn infants receive Kangaroo Mother Care, which generally includes skin-to-skin contact, feeding with breast milk, and additional support for mother and baby.

  Unang yakap and breastfeeding are life-saving for babies in the Philippines

Placing babies in immediate skin-to-skin contact with their mothers keeps babies warm, prevents exposure to surfaces in health facilities that may carry diseases, and helps establish breastfeeding. (...) “As with all confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, symptomatic mothers who are breastfeeding or practicing skin-to-skin contact or kangaroo mother care should observe hand hygiene and basic IPC measures. When performing skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and any activities involving touching or being close to the baby, infected mothers must use a medical mask, wash their hands properly before and after contact with the child, and routinely clean and disinfect surfaces which the mother has touched,” said Dr.

  Mother’s First Embrace can be the gift of life for a newborn infant

This death, like many others, might have easily been prevented, and at minimal cost, through a package of simple, low-cost interventions starting with the ‘First Embrace’ – the simple act of ensuring skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth. (...) But there is compelling evidence which shows that sustained skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby straight after birth – the first step in Early Essential Newborn Care – can make the difference between life and death. (...) When a baby is born, he or she first needs to be quickly dried and then passed straight back to the mother, for the essential skin-to-skin contact which transfers love, warmth and protective bacteria.
