Sarah by Sarah E. Mathews (South Elgin, Illinois United States)  5 Stars
June 26, 2009
My son was born at 32 weeks...barely 4 pounds...in 1995 and now he is a 6 foot, healthy 14 year old. This book is a MUST HAVE for any preemie parent. A neighbor lent it to me back then and I am now on Amazon and happy to find it here so that I can pass the favor on to a friend of mine expecting preemie triplets.

Thoroughly covers its topic by B. Horne (Minnesota, USA)  4 Stars
July 08, 2006
Upon reading this book, one finds that it's very clear the author is extremely supportive of the use of Kangaroo Care to cure just about whatever may ail your premature baby. Despite the repetitiveness of this, the book is chock-full of just about everything you'd need to know about Kangaroo Care.
I also found it was quite informative in the realm of not only the care of preemies (and their signs of distress/contentment), but of full-term infants as well. So, if you're wondering how best to help your small and/or sick baby in the NICU, or are wondering just what benefits the act of such skin-to-skin contact can bring to both you and your full-term newborn, the book is a very good--and helpful--read.

Great book by D. L. Oberbeck (Oregon) 5 Stars
June 30, 2006
I bought this book while expecting our daughter, who we know will have to spend a fair amount of time in the NICU. I had never heard of the concept before, and after reading the book, am convinced that it is a wonderful concept and I can't wait to try it!

Beyond proven! by C. Spencer (Port Townsend, WA USA) 5 Stars
September 03, 2004
I discovered this book in January, 1995, when it was very little known. My son was born 8 weeks premature in a Honolulu, hospital that had never heard of Kangaroo Care. He was transferred to NICU at a military hospital after 11 days so I never did the KC there, but I did pass my book on to my son's neonatologist in hopes that this would be available for future parents/premies. I did KC as often as I was able at the military hospital and my son came off all meds and monitors 3 wks after his early birth. All he had to do was gain weight. He come home a mere 4 weeks after his birth, and 4 weeks before he original due date! I continued to Kangaroo him at home, all day long some days and he gained so fast it was miraculous!
Two and a half years later I gave birth to a full term daughter but used KC again because, "it couldn't hurt" and we never suffered those backwards hours that newborns have and I bounced back faster after this birth because I was resting more. Kangaroo Care is worth buying, in fact buy two so you will still have one when you pass one on!! :-)
