Susan Ludington’s “KCBIB”

Susan Ludington maintains the  KCBIB (Kangaroo Care Bibliography) – the single greatest resource in existence on “Kangaroo Care”. This is an annotated bibliography of all publications and informations on Kangaroo care. The version that can be downloaded here was updated in April 2017. This is also available direct from her as she updates it. You can contact her via sml15@case.edu.

 

Susie is also the Executive Director of the United States Institute for Kangaroo Care (USIKC).

Swavek Haduc   (1958 – 2014) As Susie was completing the updates of these charts, Swavek died suddenly and unexpectedly. Swavek and Susie were married for 18 years, and Swavek provided a wonderful and stable base for Susie during this time. I post this here to his memory. See more: http://obits.cleveland.com/obituaries/
