Kangaroo care is a developmental care method determined to improve the quality of life of premature babies. When the benefits of kangaroo care on development and feeding with breast milk on premature babies are considered, term babies should also receive kangaroo care, and kangaroo care should be started immediately after birth. In this research, the authors aimed to investigate the effect of kangaroo care at birth on breast milk only feeding status and infant growth and development according to attachment theory. This is a randomized controlled, experimental, prospective study. The sample of the study consisted of pregnant women between 36-38 gestational weeks, who referred to the pregnant outpatient clinic of Buca Maternity and Children Hospital between March 2017 and February 2019 (n: 132). Pregnant women in the intervention group received "kangaroo care and breastfeeding training," and their babies were given kangaroo care at birth. Routine care was given to the mothers and their babies in the control group. Maternal attachment levels of mothers in both groups after birth and infants' breastfeeding only status and infant growth and development in the first, third, sixth, and ninth months were evaluated.
