Abstract The aims of study are to determine the influence of skin to skin contact between
father's and his infant with low birth weight on father's and infant's body
temperature as well as to explore the father's experience related to.skin to skin
contact with his infant. This study applies quasi experiment design with repeated
measurement and phenomenological design. The number of respondents are 15
fathers and his infants and 7 participants. The result of temperature measurement
shows that Kangaroo Daddy Care (KDC). influences the temperature of father and
infant before-during and before-after KDC. However KDC does not influence the
infant's and father body temperature during and after it. Themes emerge from
interviews are the response before KDC, the perception of father toward KDC and
the nurse. The psychological response toward KDC and the hopes and suggestions
about KDC. Other themes are KDC trained needed for nurses, the optimum usage
of video, availability room for KDC and application KDC for LBW (Low
