Use Nurturing Touch
Touch meets a baby's needs for physical contact, affection, security, stimulation, and movement. Skin-to-skin contact is especially effective, such as during breastfeeding, bathing, or massage. Carrying or babywearing also meets this need while on the go. Hugs, snuggling, back rubs, massage, and physical play help meet this need in older children.

Today is Kangaroo Care Awareness Day, a day we at NuRoo are proud to celebrate, as it highlights the importance and benefits of the practice of Kangaroo Care. |
