Kangaroo Care

This short film is an early clip from footage shot for the Best Beginnings 'Small Wonders' project - a DVD for the parents of premature and sick babies across the UK. It features Saima, a first-time mother, learning how to hold her pre-term baby son Qais skin-to-skin. Research shows that through skin-to-skin contact, touch and voice, expressing and giving breast milk, parents can play a vital and beneficial role in their babies' care. We are following the stories of ten families in neonatal units that are centres of excellence across the UK. The resulting DVD will be given free to the parents of premature and sick babies throughout the country.
