Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for affixing an apparatus to a parent to allow skin-to-skin contact with an infant connected to medical tubing. The method includes placement of medical tubes and/or sensors into a two-part clip on the apparatus having a first clip portion and a corresponding second clip portion—both connected through a spring action hinge. A locking means on the first clip portion next affixes to the second clip portion to ensure the medical tubing does not become dislodged. After ensuring there are no kinks or bends in the medical tubing, a fastening means (for example, a flat panel with an adhesive layer) attached to the apparatus is positioned proximate to the parent's chest (or article of clothing) and then affixed. A rotating means (between the two-part clip and fastening means) can be used to rotate the apparatus to ensure the comfort of the neonatal infant.
