Ogg, an Australian mother who gave birth to twins at 27 weeks after 3
hours of labor couldn't believe her ears when the doctors broke the news
that her son, Jamie weighing 2lbs couldn't make it. At a Sydney
hospital, Jamie’s twin sister Emily was fine and healthy at the time of
delivery while her brother was resuscitated for twenty minutes to help
him spring to life. When he didn't respond to the treatment, the parents
had to be told the dreadful news.

The
brave and valiant mother highlighted the importance of skin-on-skin
care for sick babies, a trend recently being adopted by many
hospitals across the world. It is also known as the Kangaroo Care
method adopted from the manner in which kangaroos keep the little ones
in their pouch. This technique allows mothers to act as incubators to
keep the new born babies warm and alive. This
method also decreases the chances of infection and the rate of
hypothermia in pre-mature and low weight babies. Skin-on-skin care
method improves the sleep pattern of babies and drops down the severity
of illness in them.

Kangaroo care
approach is a scientific method that restores the baby’s temperature in a
faster way than any incubator. For pre-mature babies who are likely to
have a low body temperature, this method enables the mother to pass on
the heat to the little one. As far as a research published in The
Lancet goes, Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found that ninety
percent of the babies who underwent this care revived normal body
temperature in four hours as compared to sixty percent babies kept in
incubators. This technique doesn't carry a risk of overheating as well as the excess heat is passed to the mother. Such an approach is also advised for older babies to calm them down as well as enhance their development.
David Ogg appreciates his wife for being warm and valiant at the time when most mothers would be devastated.
