Researchers at Universite Laval suggest that instead of placing a newborn baby in an incubator, keeping the baby in skin-to-skin contact with the mother's chest, also known as Kangaroo Mother Care, could lead to a positive impact on the infant's brain development. Very premature infants who benefited from this technique had better brain functioning in adolescence -- comparable to that of adolescents born at term -- than did premature infants placed in incubators. ...
