Mazumder S, Taneja S, Dube B, et al. - Researchers undertook this randomized controlled, superiority trial in Haryana, India, to determine how neonatal and infant survival could be influenced by community-initiated kangaroo mother care provided to babies weighing 1500–2250 g. Stable and feeding babies weighing 1500–2250 g at home within 72 h of birth were enrolled if not already initiated in kangaroo mother care, regardless of the place of birth (ie, home or health facility). They randomly allocated (1:1) the first eligible infants in households to the intervention (community-initiated kangaroo mother care) or control group. A substantial improvement in newborn baby and infant survival was observed as a result of community-initiated kangaroo mother care. A substantial decrease in neonatal and infant mortality could be achieved in low-income and middle-income countries by including kangaroo mother care for all infants with low birth weight, regardless of birthplace.
