#Photooftheweek : Powerful skin to skin method




Powerful skin to skin method

Phillip holds his newborn son at a hospital in #Ghana. He and his wife Gloria are using ‘kangaroo care’, where parents without access to incubators hold newborns constantly against their skin to keep them warm. Close body contact helps stabilize babies’ body temperatures, steady their heart rates and help their breathing. #WorldPrematurityDay #UNICEF © UNICEF/GHAA2015-04031/Quarmyne
