Simple, Low-Cost Ways tp cut Risk of an Early Birth

According to the article, each year an estimated thirteen million babies are born too soon and more that one million of them die as a result of their prematurity. Most preterm births take place in Africa and Asia. There are programs in Africa that teach the skin-to-skin method, also known as kangaroo care. Mothers learn to carry preterm babies in front instead of the traditional African way. I think that nowadays the number of preterm babies are increasing in developed countries because women tend to have babies at older ages and use of fertility treatments.
