Kangaroo Mother Care A Complete Guide for Mothers and Families 28 HOWTO PROVIDE KMC THE PROCEDURE OF KMC Who is the KMC provider? Ideally, KMC needs to be given by the mother as it has multiple benefits to the mother and the baby, as described previously. KMC is not limited to only mothers; other caregivers such as fathers, grandparents, and trained caregivers, can also provide KMC for the baby's well-being, growth, and development. Foster/Surrogate KMC is a modified version of traditional Kangaroo Mother Care, designed for babies who cannot receive direct KMC from their mother due to various reasons, such as medical conditions or separation. In foster KMC, a designated caregiver, often a family member, takes on the role of providing the essential skin-to-skin contact that supports the baby's development. Mother, father, grandmother, or any other family member can be the KMC provider.
