Abstract		Background: The "kangaroo mother care" method was initiated by colombian pediatricians in 1979. The method is based on a permanent skin to skin contact of low birth weight Infants with their mother. It has spread out in many developing countries as an alternative cheap method for the care of low bitrh weight infants with several adventages : temperature regulation, prolonged breast-feeding, promotion of mother-infant interaction , decreased mortality. Conclusions: The kangaroo method has been adapted in European countries as kangaroo care that consists in daily mother- infant skin to skin contact during few hours. Introducing the incubator in the mother s room is an infant. A major interest of these methods is that they favaur parentI- infant interaction; however this requires qualified and devoted staffs.
