Abstract

Background: Kangaroo care method aims to keep the body temperature stabilization, reducing the risk of infection, increasing the frequency of breastfeeding can have an impact on increasing milk production. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of kangaroo care method to increase milk production in low birth weight infants Methods: This research is a quasiexperimental, with design non equivalent control group and the sampling technique using purposive sampling technique. Results: The mean weight of LBW infants before kangaroo method 1678.42 grams in the intervention group, performed after 1775.00 grams kangaroo method, the results of statistical tests indicate paired t-test p-value 0.000 and the mean weight LBW baby kangaroo that no treatment method before done treatment 1597.24 grams, 1629.61 grams after treatment performed, the results of statistical tests indicate paired t-test pvalue 0.001. The mean increase in weight infants in the intervention group was 96.58 grams, in the control group was 32.37 grams. The mean increase in breastfeeding in the control group was 94.13 cc. So every 1 cc of milk production in the control group with 0.34 grams weight gain, so it is expected to increase milk production in the intervention group at 284.06 cc for 5 days. The results of independent statistical tests showed pvalue (0.000) <0.05. Conclusion: Kangaroo care method to increase milk production.
