    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Mother Method in reducing morbidity and mortality in low birth weight neonates. Materials and Methods: A total of 9 scientific articles were selected on the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Mother Method in reducing morbidity and mortality in low birth weight neonates, found in the following databases: Lilacs, Pubmed, Medline, and Cochrane Plus. The selection included 2 systematic reviews, 1 systematic review and meta-analysis, 1 meta-analysis, 2 randomized clinical trials, 1 case-control study, and 2 prospective cohort studies. Results: Of the 9 articles reviewed, 100% (n=9/9) showed the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Mother Method in reducing morbidity and mortality in low birth weight neonates. Additionally, the articles highlighted benefits for the newborn, such as increased exclusive breastfeeding and optimal growth and development, compared to neonates who did not receive the Kangaroo Mother Method. Conclusions: There is sufficient scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of the Kangaroo Mother Method in reducing morbidity and mortality in low birth weight neonates.
