What about medical mistake? How does a baby survive without oxygen for 2 hours? The couple needs to look into that more.

I do believe in kangaroo care. We are foster parents and an adbandoned, premature little girl was placed with us. I read the info that the hospital gave us and it included a little info about this. I used the technique several times to bond with her and soothe and calm her. I do believe in the technique.

I truly believe in the power of kangaroo care. 17 years ago I gave birth to a 30-week preemie boy who weighed just over 3 lbs. As soon as I was allowed to hold him, I was encouraged to "kangaroo" with him in the NICU. I spent so many hours during those first few weeks of his life, with him lying on my bare chest while I sat in a rocker in the NICU, and I honestly believe that all that time helped him grow and develop, and he was ready to go home much earlier than the doctors originally projected. Today my son is a healthy and very big 17 year old and it's hard for me to believe how small he once was. But those moments I spent "kangarooing" with him will stay with me forever.

Kangaroo Care is powerful!! I gave birth to a 28 week preemie weighing 2lbs 10 oz. She was born with Meningitis and was not expected to survive. I was able to kangaroo with her for the 2 1/2 months she spent in NICU. It was a miracle! With every kangaroo encounter she responded. Now she is a well developed 8 year old with no development delays.

I believe in it with all of my heart! I gave birth twin 26 weekers, 2lbs & 2lbs 2oz. They were in the NICU for 3 months. Will never forget first time getting to do kangaroo care with my girls, one daughter at 3 days old, the other a few days later. So powerful, so personal and so healing for everyone. Kept us all sane in such a stressful place and situation. Would recommend to ALL. Know it helped our miracles fight a little harder.

Kangaroo care is incredible and so beneficial....I feel blessed that we were in a NICU where it was so encouraged.

I totally believe in miracles and kangaroo care. This story however goes to show the entire World that they should seriously question their doctor's judgments. They don't have all the answers and not everything they say is fact. Yet some tend to think they are God! How outrageous that this doctor felt that he was so smart that he didn't think it possible that the child was alive and insisted that everyone else who witnessed the live child to be wrong! This should be a lesson to everyone! The oath to "perserve life" is dishonored more often then the News announces!

Kangaroo Care works! I have a one year old who was born at 1.14 ounces at 25 weeks old and is now 22 pounds, a little firecracker, actually in the 65 percentile for height and weight and doing excellent, knock on wood, not sick a day in her life so far, outside of the NICU, not even an ear infection or diaper rash, let alone fever. She stayed in the NICU for 3 months, I held her all day and partially in the night. Many of the nurses at KAISER hospital where we were thought that KC was irritating to my baby and would cause more damage from over-stimulation. I think some of them just didn't want to leave their books! I luckily had a few wonderful nurses that encouraged it. For the most part most of the doctors had to insist on making the nurses let us do it and actually wrote ORDERS for my baby to receive it! I also stress the importance of breast milk and breast pumping if the baby cannot take to the breast. KC, prayer, and breast milk combined work wonders!
