Maternal experience of intermittent kangaroo mother care for late preterm infants: a mixed-methods study in four postnatal wards in China.

In order to improve the maternal experience of KMC, it is recommended that raising awareness of KMC should be included in antenatal care and after birth. Longer periods of KMC provision should be encouraged, greater privacy should be provided for mothers providing KMC in postnatal wards and family members should be encouraged to support KMC.
