生活英语|Kangaroo Mother Care 袋鼠式护理法

Kangaroo Mother Care involves skin-to-skin contact between the baby's front and the mother's chest. This contact has improved the survival rate of premature^{1 babies. KMC has been widely used in the US, Japan and Europe, yet in China premature infants are often put in incubators from birth.}

袋鼠式护理法指的是婴儿睡在妈妈（护理职员）胸前、肌肤相亲，妈妈用我们的体温温暖孩子。这种亲密接触能增加早产儿的存活率。这种办法近年来在欧美和日本得到推崇，但在中国尚未普及，更容易见到的是早产儿一出生就住进了保温箱中。

To mimic^{2 the atmosphere of the womb, kangaroo mothers must sit still for a whole hour without going to the bathroom or breathing heavily.}

为了模拟子宫中的环境，每次袋鼠母亲要一动不动地坐一个小时，让小婴儿听着母亲均匀的呼吸，也不可以起身去厕所。
