Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier.
A mother in Tanzania cradles her baby in the Mwembeladu Maternity Home in Zanzibar. She is using Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). In the places where there are no incubators for premature babies, it is commonplace to hold and wear your baby skin-to-skin to regulate baby's temperature, respiration, hormone flux, and cardiovascular function, among other things. Millions of deaths each year are preventable with proven interventions like KMC.
