Last week, our NICU team proudly celebrated Kangaroo Care Day—a special reminder of the powerful connection between parents and their newborns.
As part of the celebration, two parents of NICU twin girls won classic wraps to support skin-to-skin bonding with their babies. Kangaroo care (or skin-to-skin contact) has been shown to help regulate a baby’s heart rate and temperature, promote bonding, support breastfeeding, and improve overall developmental outcomes for premature and medically fragile infants.
At Mount Sinai, we are committed to providing exceptional, compassionate care for every patient and family who walks through our doors. From advanced neonatal care to emotional support resources for parents, our NICU team is dedicated to creating a healing environment centered around comfort, connection, and clinical excellence.
