Answer 1

c. kangaroo care

Step-by-step explanation:

Kangaroo care is a technique that is often employed in caring for a preterm baby, which involves skin-to-skin contact of the mother with the baby for hours daily. This makes the baby to fall asleep easily, and in turn increases the overall growth rate as the baby heart rate stabilizes, the breathing pattern and oxygen saturation levels improve.
