<sec><h3>BACKGROUND</h3>
<p>Babies are children who are in the age range 0–12 months. Infancy is the first phase of human life, which at this time requires adaptation to the environment. Low birth weight (LBW) is a newborn who has a birth weight of &lt;2500 g (up to 2499 g). Babies with LBW will have an impact in the long term in the future that will affect the quality of the nation’s next generation. General management of infants with LBW is very necessary to prevent complications. General management that can be given to infants with LBW is maintaining body weight by weighing daily and monitoring nutritional intake.

KMC method of treatment is a skin to skin contact therapy, namely, conduction heat transfer from mother to baby so that the baby remains warm and stable so that it will increase the baby’s weight.
