Kangaroo care involves skin-to-skin contact with the parent, which provides warmth, comfort, and a familiar heartbeat for the premature infant. This helps to regulate the baby's breathing and heart rate, promotes bonding, and provides appropriate sensory stimulation. Bathing in warm water and pipes in music or mobiles may provide too much sensory stimulation and overwhelm the premature infant. Placing multiple premature infants together in the same incubator can increase the risk of infection and may not provide individualized care.
