Purpose: to understand how it is to care for preterm newborns, as recommended by public health policy Kangaroo method, from the perception of the professionals involved in the care. Methods: this is a descriptive study of qualitative design. Interviews were conducted with health professionals on the health care of premature babies. The participants were eighteen health professionals. Of these, three were social workers, four nurses, two speech therapists, two nutritionists, two psychologists, four nursing technicians and a doctor. All respondents were female. The interviews were closed from the saturation of answers as there was no more significant elements. Resultados: foram elencados dois núcleos temáticos para a discussão: A fragmentação do cuidado ao prematuro e as famílias; Contradições entre as práticas profissionais e a política pública instituída. Considera-se não haver acompanhamento efetivo para os prematuros e questiona-se a continuidade nos atendimentos, para uma assistência integral. Observa-se que os profissionais desconhecem o que a polí-tica pública preconiza, e valorizam a atenção e cuidado hospitalar. Conclusão: os desajustes são claros em todos os serviços de saúde, e então, não há o cumprimento da política.
