Secure Kangaroo Care Wrap
Hold your baby close.
Keep your hands free.
KangaSling makes kangaroo care (skin-to-skin) safe, comfortable, and hands-free. Recommended for premature and low-birth-weight babies.
- •Holding your baby skin-to-skin, upright against your bare chest
- •Keeps baby warm and steadies breathing, heart rate, and weight gain
- •WHO recommends 8–24 hours a day for 30 days for premature babies
Kangaroo care works. Doing it for hours a day is hard.
WHO recommends a minimum of 8 — ideally a continuous 24 — hours of skin-to-skin care a day for premature babies. But a loose sheet or cloth wrap makes that difficult to sustain. KangaSling was designed to solve each of these problems.

From Our Founder
Why we built KangaSling this way
Ratul Narain, CEO of BEMPU Health, explains the thinking behind KangaSling's design — and the quality process every unit goes through before it reaches a hospital or a home.
Thoughtful design in every detail
Hip support, a self-loading front flap, shoulder-strap hooks, a fold-down top, and no-help front tying — built to make continuous KMC easy. Swipe through to see every feature.
For Clinicians
Clinical rationale for KMC
WHO recommends kangaroo mother care as a standard of care for stable premature and low-birth-weight infants. KMC improves temperature regulation, weight gain, breastfeeding rates, and reduces mortality. KangaSling removes the practical barriers to sustained KMC — parent discomfort and the inability to perform other tasks while holding baby — using a self-loading front flap and shoulder-strap hooks that move baby into the correct skin-to-skin position.
Impact of TempWatch and KangaSling on Parent Compliance to Kangaroo Care: A Three-Arm Randomised Control Trial
Anish, 2025 · Belagavi, Karnataka
Babies whose parents used KangaSling together with TempWatch had significantly longer KMC duration, and better weight and length gain, than those using a conventional wrap.

Introducing the KangaSling tripled daily KMC duration, from a baseline of 3 hours a day to 9 hours a day, in a tertiary NICU setting.

Scaling kangaroo mother care
KMC reduces neonatal mortality in low-resource settings. KangaSling makes hands-free skin-to-skin contact practical for mothers, families, and health workers — enabling programs to increase KMC adoption and duration at scale.
Increases KMC duration
Hands-free design lets mothers and health workers maintain skin-to-skin contact for longer periods — a key determinant of KMC outcomes.
Ward and community use
Used in hospital KMC wards and community health programs. Suitable for ASHA workers, CHWs, and facility-based KMC programs.
Washable and reusable
100% cotton. Machine washable. Can be shared across families with proper hygiene protocols — reducing per-family cost in program settings.
Bulk procurement
Available for bulk ordering by government programs, NGOs, and health ministries. Contact us for volume pricing and supply chain support.
No power or batteries
Zero electricity or maintenance requirements. Suitable for any setting, including facilities with unreliable power.
WHO-aligned intervention
WHO recommends a minimum of 8 — ideally a continuous 24 — hours of skin-to-skin care for 30 days with premature newborns. KangaSling makes that practical at scale.
