FT, quasi Exp of birth KC + 3 nights of postpartum KC and maternal
satisfaction was higher inKC group than non-KC group.
FT, qualitative study of mom’s impressions of KC and some moms
thought it was good and were satisfied with KC; other moms worried
about falling asleep and/or dropping baby (they need to be taught safe
positioning and use a wrap that holds infant in place). Infants appeared
very satisfied with KC
PT, late preterm quasi exp of unlimited KC )n=107) vs no KC (n=107)
during 4-5 days of hospitalization and at home. Maternal satisfaction
with KC was very high as most (97%) really loved doing KC.
PT, RCT of teaching moms KC or White’Traut’s ATVV or control group
and at discharge and 2 months later all moms were equally satisfied
with the intervention they were taught. Moms want to do things for
their babies.
Pt, Review, and it says that previous studies have found that mothers
who do KC have better satisfaction with the care their infants receive in
Nolan & Lawrence, 2009 FT, RCT of 25 infants who got three types of KC (ventral to ventral,
ventral to lateral, cradle hold on mother’s side under axilla) that started
> 30 mins post birth compared in PACU to 25 controls who were not in
PACU KC infants had better HR, RR, and temp stabilization and lower
cortisol levels than controls. KC moms had less anxiety and more
satisfaction with their care. REALLY IS PACU which is EARLY PP
the NICU.

FT. Implementation of Baby Friendly led to postpartum KC and mothers
