Newborn · Each shift — separation, bonding research, kangaroo care — chang
Each shift — separation, bonding research, kangaroo care — changed what parents were told to do in the first hours and days. Martin Couney displayed premature infants in incubators at fairs, popularising neonatal warmth technology.
Newborn · Bowlby attachment

Newborn · Bonding research
Bowlby, Klaus & Kennell, and Ainsworth shifted policy toward early contact and maternal presence. Modern newborn care crystallised as hospital birth became common; incubator technology (Couney, 1900s) and later WHO Kangaroo Mother Care (1970s, Bogotá) reshaped how fragile infants are held and fed.
Newborn · Dr
Dr. Spock successors and La Leche League pushed breastfeeding and closeness into mainstream magazines. The first 28 days are a string of named events, not a generic newborn-care wrapper: the first stable skin-to-skin hold, the first night of cluster feeding, the 3–5 day pediatric visit, and the first week of wet-nappy counts.
This is education from the atlas. It does not diagnose and does not prescribe a dose. It does not replace the full topic page.
