ome images are so powerful, so heartwarming, that they\u2019re almost impossible to resist.<\/strong>\u00a0One such photo is of a little boy helping his father warm his two premature twin sisters.<\/strong><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Originally\u00a0published on the Danish Facebook page\u00a0Parents and birth in Denmark<\/a>\u00a0about three years ago, it\u2019s been shared again and is now gaining new momentum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not long ago, Scandinavian maternity centers began an interesting new practice when it came to their newborn patients.<\/p>\n

In medicine, the \u201cskin-to-skin\u201d method is used for the warmth and comfort of infants, especially those who are born prematurely. Premature babies are particularly sensitive to pain because their\u00a0brains and nervous system aren\u2019t yet fully developed. But skin-on-skin contact seems to have an analgesic or sedative effect, thus reducing their pain responses.<\/p>\n

Also known as \u201dKangaroo care,\u201d the intent is to give the babies positive, comforting feelings in a critical stage of their development.<\/p>\n

Research<\/a>\u00a0from the National Institute of Health\u00a0shows that the technique\u00a0effectively reduces pain among preterm babies.<\/p>\n

is argued that this strategy aids premature infants in greatly reducing after-birth stress, helping them to recover and begin to thrive more quickly.<\/p>\n

In the last few years, the aforementioned Scandinavian maternity centers have seen wonderful results. The survival rate of premature infants recently increased from 30% to an astounding 70%.<\/p>\n
