Aim: Compare occurrences of first-time-events reported by mothers and fathers with children at high tech NICU according to kangaroo-mother-care method in two university hospitals. Method: Descriptive, quantitative design. Fourty-five couples of parents, with premature children born and cared for at university hospitals in Uppsala or Örebro, answered questionnaires about first-time-events: interaction-events, measures-of-care-events and sleeping-place-events. Results: All differences regarding the children?s age at first-time-events showed Uppsala-children to be younger than Örebro-children. Interaction-events were reported first in children?s lives, measures-of-care-events and sleeping-place-events later. Children in Uppsala were younger (postnatally) at all three types of first-time-events, and less mature than Örebro-children (lower postmenstrual age), at measures-of-care-events and sleeping-place-events, but not interaction-events. Differences between mothers and fathers appeared regarding interaction and measures-of-care, but not sleeping-place. Conclusion: Differences in interaction-events parent/child appeared postnatally but not postmenstrually, because postmenstrual age measures in weeks- a measure too rough when interaction was reported to happen during the first hours/days. Why Uppsala-children were younger than Örebro-children at first-time-events, is probably because Uppsala has a more developed KMC-care than Örebro. Why Uppsala-children were younger than Örebro-children at first-time-events between father/child, but not mother/child is likely because Uppsala?s KMC-care is more developed and fathers receive more support there than in Örebro.
