Kangaroo care involves holding a preterm infant against the parent's bare chest for several hours a day, providing skin-to-skin contact between the baby and caregiver. This method has been shown to promote bonding, support breastfeeding, and improve outcomes for premature infants. Neonatal massage, marsupial care, and contact comfort care are not specific terms used to describe this practice.
