Abstract
Premature infant refers to the neonate born any time before 37 weeks of gestational age. Kangaroo care is a technique practised on the newbornbr baby, usually preterm infants where the infant is held, skin-to-skin, with an adult. Kangaroo Care has been shown to provide a number of benefits. For parents, it promotes attachment and bonding, improves parental confidence, and helps to promote increased milk production and breast feeding success. Also, it increased readiness for discharge, sense of control and ability to cope with the stress and emotions of having a high risk infant. As for premature , it experience more normalized temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate,increased weight gain, fewer nasocomial infections, increased deep sleep status, increased oxygen level and may be a good intervention for colic.Finally it helps to promote frequent breast-feeding and can enhance mother infant bonding. Hence, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of Kangaroo care on premature electrophysiological measures.
