(...) “The best way to nurture the newly born low birthweight baby, including in high-income countries, is through ongoing skin-to-skin contact with the mother, in a mother-newborn couplet care unit that provides care and medical treatment for both,” said Dr Bjorn Westrup, of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, and a technical expert for the study.
