Each year approximately 20 million low birthweight babies are born globally. Prematurity is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries and results in 60%–80% of neonatal deaths. Neonatal mortality is the major contributor to under-5 mortality. According to Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017–2018, neonatal mortality in Pakistan is 42 per 1000 live births and under-5 mortality is 74 per 1000 live births. One out of every 22 newborns dies in Pakistan, which is an alarming figure. Majority of these deaths are preventable. They can be prevented by well-trained midwives, safe delivery, early initiation of breast feeding within an hour after birth and skin-to-skin contact. Pakistan is among the top 10 countries with the highest number of preterm births and with limited resources to manage the burden. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a safe and economical alternative to provide preterm care in developing countries. In babies at gestational age less than 37 weeks or with neonatal weight less than 2.5 kg, skin-to-skin contact prevents hypothermia and infection. Neonatal mortality and morbidity can be reduced by providing preterm care through KMC. This case report is of a preterm baby who was delivered at 33 weeks of gestation with a weight of 1.3 kg and was saved by KMC in the paediatric department of Services Hospital in Lahore.

Premature and LBW in Indonesiais diminishing but is still quite high at 52% per 100 live births. In RSUD Buleleng in the last year of 2015 there were 275 LBW, handling can be done one of them is by doing.Kangaroo Mother Care is skin contact immediately the baby to the mother, which can inprove infant survival, especially that experienced LBW (Low Birth Weight) or premature. This method actually mimic animal marsupial kangaroo where baby kangaroo born normally stored in the mother’s pouch to prevent cold (hypothermia). The purpose of this study was to Postpartum Mothers Knowledge About Kangaroo Mother Care in NICU Room RSUD Buleleng. Method: this reseaerch is using desceriptive. Collecting data using purposive sampling with a sampler size of 35 people. Result: of the research I have done one 43 respondents mostly have good knowledge of as many as 23 (39%) and small portion  have less knowledge as much as 9 respondents (14%). Conclution: based on the data analysis has beeen carried out the research So it can be councluded that the majority of respondents already have a good knowledge of the Kangaroo Mother Care as many as 23 (39%)  .   Keywords: Knowledge, Puerperal women, Kangaroo Mother Care.

Infants born with low birth weight or LBW are very susceptible to hypothermia due to the thin fat reserves under the skin and immature heat regulating centers in the brain. The search for articles consisted of five databases, namely Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Garuda, and Proquest. Analysis of 25 articles on kangaroo mother care and self-care showed that kangaroo mother care can keep the baby's body temperature stable and reduce the risk of hypothermia in newborns with low weight and make it easier for the baby to breastfeed. This systematic review shows that the kangaroo mother care method has a more significant impact on baby weight gain and the stability of the baby's body temperature by maintaining skin to skin contact between mother and baby for later implementation in the community. This method is more effective than the swaddling method.  Keyword: Kangaroo Mother Care; Swaddling; Low Birth Weight; Community

Background: Among the therapeutic alternatives complementary to humanized care, there is the vestibular stimulation. Provided by the gentle swing in a hammock, it simulates the containment and maternal movements found in the intrauterine environment and is considered a safe method that reduces stress levels in very low birthweight premature newborn (PTNB). Objective: To observe the time of hospitalization and the discharge weight of the PTNB that passed through the positioning in the hammock and kangaroo mother care. Methods: A quasi-experimental study involving two university hospitals including PTNB. The PTNB were allocated into two groups: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) composed by PTNB selected according to the maternal presence and vestibular stimulation (VS) composed by PTNB whose maternal presence was not possible. The KMC were kept in skin-to-skin contact with the mother. The VS were positioned in dorsal decubitus in a hammock of cotton adapted within the incubator. The time of hospitalization and weight monitoring were recorded daily by the nursing team in a collection form. Results: From the 40 PTNB included in this study, 47.5% were female and 40% had normal birth, 20 of them were allocated in the VS group and 20 in the KMC group. The time of hospitalization were not different between the groups (p=0.12), but the discharge weight were higher in the VS group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The data indicate that the hospitalization time is similar between the PTNB who received KMC and VS, and that the discharge weight is higher for the group that received the VS.

Hypothermia is a common problem in neonates and an important contributory factor to neonatal mortality and morbidity. The results of an evaluation involving several health facilities and health personnel showed that thermal control practices were frequently inadequate in the following areas: ensuring a warm environment at the time of delivery, initiation of breastfeeding and contact with mother, bathing, checking the baby's temperature, thermal protection of low birth weight babies, and care during transportation. During kangaroo method (K-M) the infant is in skin to skin contact with the mother. A pilot study conducted on LBW infants discharged from the General Hospital in Bandung, and follow-up for 4 consecutive weeks showed the skin temperature to be well maintained. Weight increase was more stable compared to the control group and there were no re-hospitalization within the observation period. K-M has a simple and natural appeal, cold stress can be avoided; perhaps the most important benefit of K-M is improvement of lactation. In developing countries especially rural areas, temperature regulation and maintenance of lactation using K-M may be lifesaving for very low birth infants.
