Shared kangaroo care helped a mother bond with her triplets, easing fears of caring for multiple infants. Co-bedding triplets in one crib further enhanced this bonding experience.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Maternal-infant bonding
  • Perinatal psychology

Background:

  • A mother of four feared bonding with newly born triplets.
  • The case study focuses on the psychological and practical challenges of caring for multiple infants.

Observation:

  • The mother participated in shared kangaroo care, holding all three infants simultaneously.
  • Kangaroo care involved skin-to-skin contact to promote bonding and infant well-being.
  • Co-bedding, placing all triplets in a single crib, was implemented to further enhance closeness.

Findings:

  • Shared kangaroo care significantly alleviated the mother's fears of bonding with her triplets.
  • The practice fostered a strong maternal-infant connection, facilitating care for multiple infants.
