Abstract: Each year millions of fathers face the hospitalization of their premature babies in the NICU. Without having any preparation to accompany the hospitalization of the newborn. Hospitalization in the NICU generates an abrupt separation between the parents and the newborns, complicating the development of attachment between the father-baby dyad; to prevent this, NICU use the KC, a low-cost method that promotes and improves attachment.
