Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Massage therapy and kangaroo care are both increasingly used interventions in the NICU. Massage therapy has been found to improve weight gain, promote better sleep and more stable vital signs in premature infants. Kangaroo care involves skin-to-skin contact with the mother or father, and has been found to improve growth and development, reduce stress and increase breastfeeding rates in premature infants.
