The Kangaroo Method

I am planning on breastfeeding when the baby comes.  I have been hearing a lot about the Kangaroo Method.  This is the definition I got offline from Wikipedia for those that haven't heard of it before.  "Kangaroo care seeks to provide restored closeness of the newborn with mother or father by placing the infant in direct skin-to-skin contact with one of them. This insures physiological and psychological warmth and bonding. The kangaroo position provides ready access to nourishment. The parent's stable body temperature helps to regulate the neonate's temperature more smoothly than an incubator, and allows for readily accessible breastfeeding."

I am wondering if this really works.  I recently went to a breastfeeding class and they spoke to us about this also.  Research has shown that if you are wanting to breastfeed, performing the Kangaroo method will increase your chances of being successful by 70%.  I know there are many mothers out there that haven't done this method and have been fine with nursing their baby.  But, if there is anything I can do to help increase the chances of being successful I will do it.  I also think that this will be a great bonding experience for my husband.  That has been a concern of mine too.  I want him to be able to bond and most men do that by feeding their baby.  But, if I breastfeed he won't be able to do this for a while.  If anything I think it would be great for him and her to do. 

I'm wondering if anyone reading this has done this method before after giving birth?   If so, did it seem to help?  Please leave comments below.
