Effect of kangaroo mother care in low birth weight infants on human milk intake: a randomized controlled trial
Our findings show that KMC is associated with a substantially higher human milk intake in LBW infants during the neonatal period. There was no evidence of any effect of KMC on the concentration of several human milk components. This trial was registered at Clinical Trials Registry-India as CTRI/2017/04/008430.
