Kangaroo Mother Care was initially started in Columbia and in all over the world. This is a method of care of low-birth-weight and preterm babies.  In this method, the infant is carried by mother, father or substitute caregiver with skin-to-skin contact. This is accomplished by keeping the baby in kangaroo position (upright position) and stomach down on the mother's bare chest.The baby in KMC is breast-fed exclusively. Skin-to skin contact facilitates the feeding interaction. 

Skin to Skin contact between the baby's front and the Mother's chest, The more skin to skin contact the better, Its good for all the new born babies to both premature and full term..

Yes you are right. Skin to skin attachment is very essential for physical, emotional and social development of your baby. The mother's body is the baby's natural habitat. This is the place where development begins in babies. There are many benefits of skin to skin contact between mom and new born from boosting breast feeding to setting the stage for brain development.

Touch creates a sense of belonging in the child. This in turn makes the baby more Happier,  creative and Self reliant once the child grows up.
