    Through the Kangaroo Mother Method, care and attention are provided to low birth weight babies. It consists of two fundamental pillars: breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact. It is an effective, easy-to-implement, cost-effective technique that meets the newborn's needs and serves as an optimal alternative to incubator care. OBJECTIVE: To systematize the evidence found on the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Mother Method compared to the conventional method for preventing heat loss in neonates weighing less than 2000 grams. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Observational and retrospective systematic review. The search was limited to articles that include studies on the benefits of the Kangaroo Mother Method to ensure neonatal survival. Selected studies underwent critical analysis. The quality of the evidence and strength of the recommendations were assessed using the GRADE system. RESULTS: 100% of the reviewed articles are conclusive, supported by 3 systematic reviews, 3 randomized clinical trials, 1 quasi-experimental study, and 3 cohort studies; all suggest the use of the Kangaroo Mother Method to prevent heat loss in neonates weighing less than 2000 grams. CONCLUSIONS: The Kangaroo Mother Method is highly effective for newborns weighing less than 2000 grams as an alternative to conventional neonatal care to prevent heat loss.
