  • The nursing of mother and infant is a factor indirectly affecting the infant's growth and its nutritional status. In conventional care method, a low birth weight infants (LBWi) needs an incubator or even radiant heater to prevent hypothermia, but both devices are costly that a new way of nursing called kangaroo mother care (KMC) is developed. The new method involves skin to skin contact the neonate on its mother's chest, which obviously helps to stabilize the infant's temperature and improves its general condition. This study was to determine the influence of KMC and the difference in growth achievement between LBWi nursed with KMC and the others with conventional method up to the age of three months. The study was a quasi experiment with Non-Equivalent Control Group design, carried out at DR Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. The sample consists of pairs of Mother- LBWi, chosen using consecutive sampling were divided into two groups of treatment group (given protap and KMC treatment) and control group (given hospital's protap wihtout KMC). The measurements of growth were conducted twice. SPSS program was used in the analysis with significance level p =0.05 and confidence interval of 95%. The results showed that on average the z score of weight/age tended to be higher by the treatment group â�� 1,193 ± 0,600 and control group â�� 1,308 ± 0,586 (mean difference : 0, 1159, CI 95% = â��0.123 to +0.355), the statistical test oft test didn't indicated any difference between the two groups (p=0,339). The average z score of height/age by the treatment group tended to be higher â�� 2,20 ± 1,158 and control group â��2,52 ± 0,956 (mean difference: 0, 325, CI 95%= â��0,103 to +0,753), the statistical t test didn't indicated by difference between the two groups (p=0,136). The average head circumference tended to be higher by the treatment group 39,19 ± 3,04 and control group 38,54 ± 1,95 (mean difference of 0,65
