Kangaroo care (KC) for preterm infants is becoming well known in the United States. Typically, KC is given by mothers in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) beginning days or weeks postbirth. This case report documents KC beginning at 4.5 hours postbirth with a healthy mother whose 32-week, 1,953 gram infant required initial care in the NICU. The nurse's role in supporting this care is described. Both parents experienced KC with their son and were soon convinced of the exceptional benefits he received. The infant was transferred to intermediate care on Day 2, regained his birth weight by Day 12, was discharged home on Day 21. He was breast-feeding exclusively at 40 weeks corrected age, and had Bayley mental and motor development scores within normal limits at 6 months corrected age.
袋鼠式护理（KC）在早产儿护理中在美国正逐渐为人所知。通常，袋鼠式护理由新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）的母亲在婴儿出生数天或数周后开始实施。本病例报告记录了一名健康母亲在婴儿出生4.5小时后就开始进行袋鼠式护理的情况，该母亲32周龄、体重1953克的婴儿需要在新生儿重症监护病房接受初始护理。文中描述了护士在支持这种护理中的作用。父母双方都与他们的儿子一起体验了袋鼠式护理，并很快确信他从中获得了非凡的益处。婴儿在第2天转至中级护理病房，第12天恢复出生体重，第21天出院回家。在矫正年龄40周时他完全采用母乳喂养，在矫正年龄6个月时贝利智力和运动发育评分在正常范围内。
