Objective: to analyze the maternal experience with the Kangaroo Method at home. Methods: descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, carried out with 10 kangaroo mothers who were discharged from a reference maternity hospital in a capital of Northeast Brazil. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and submitted to thematic analysis. Results: the mothers experienced feelings such as fear and insecurity during the home phase of the Kangaroo Method and stated that the guidance provided by health professionals and the support for following the method at home are scarce. Conclusion: the maternal experience during the Kangaroo Method at home is permeated by challenges regarding the care of the newborn, therefore, mothers need clear guidance in all its stages, as well as the support of professionals from the Family Health Strategy and family members, to continue the method and thus reduce child morbidity and mortality.
