Who can provide Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC)?

Correct option is D

Sol. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a method of caring for low birth weight and preterm babies, involving continuous skin-to-skin contact and exclusive breastfeeding. While the mother is the primary caregiver, father and grandmother can also be trained to give KMC when the mother is unavailable.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Mother – Yes, the main KMC provider, especially as she offers both warmth and breastfeeding.
· (b) Father – Fathers can offer skin-to-skin contact when the mother is resting or unavailable. It helps in bonding and warmth regulation.
· (c) Grandmother – Even grandmothers can perform KMC if trained properly, especially in joint family settings or when the mother is unwell.
· (d) All of these – Correct answer. KMC can be delivered by any responsible caregiver who is trained — mother, father, or grandmother.
