The things they don't tell you about skin-to-skin contact!

In this episode come with us on a journey into the land of
kangaroos... only kidding we are talking about kangaroo mother
care and skin-to-skin contact. You may think this is a topic you
may know everything about but before you switch off I recommend
listening in. Look, even Rachel learned stuff she didn't know,
and she was the one in our planning meeting who said "what a
whole hour on skin to skin?"! So, yes folks, here is a whole
podcast on Katie's favourite topic. We find out what the bearded
lady at the old-fashioned freak show has got to do with babies in
the NICU. What is empty ward syndrome? The fascinating insight
into the difference between a gardening chair and a sunlounger!
The importance of maintaining the mother & baby's system in a
state of regulation. How to advocate for prolonged skin-to-skin
care, plus much more all on the "simple" topic of skin to
skin!
