analysis using logistic regression.
Babies who received kangaroo method enough duration increased
breastfeeding to 2.08 times greater significantly. In addition, the result of
multivariate analysis showed significance between kangaroo method with
a short duration and breastfeeding in LBW babies with OR : 6.08, CI
95% : 2.4-15.2, adjusted R2 0.29.
