      Mamma Pod is a garment that allows the mother to carry the neonate securely between her breasts in intimate
      skin-to-skin contact, providing essential care, warmth & support. It allows the mother to move about freely in a
      hands-free mode and perform her daily activities while providing KMC. The design of the garment also allows her
      to express milk, thus maximising the duration of KMC.
      - Development stage- Indian Patent has been filed (*Patent No. 3948/DEL/2015).
      - Clinical trials at Neo natal ICU AIIMS are ongoing.

      The ergonomic design of Mamma Pod reduces the fatigue of
      carrying the baby for longer periods. It snugly supports the baby
      from 3 sides while allowing the mother to be ambulant. She can even
      sleep while giving KMC. The baby pouch adjusts to accommodate
      the size of the growing baby. Size of the outer jacket can be adjusted
      by the mother as per her preference.
