Kangaroo Mother Care A Complete Guide for Mothers and Families 54 Discontinuation of KMC Usually by about 37-40 weeks of gestational age or around 2.5 kg, the baby shows signs of discomfort like wriggling, trying to pull out limbs, crying, and being fussy during KMC, which is the time to wean the baby from KMC. KMC can be continued as long as the mother and baby are comfortable even beyond 40 weeks or 2.5 kg. Do not stop abruptly, but reduce the duration gradually. Continue KMC at home as long as the baby accepts KMC, usually until the baby is at least 2.5 kg.
