Low birth weight neonates are risky to problems in response behavior due to lack of continuous sensory stimulation from mother. This Quasi experimental design, interrupted time series with non-equivalence control-group design. Aimed at comparing the responding behavior of low birth weight neonates of first time mothers between experimental group receiving the maternal empowerment program combined with gentle human touch and the control group received normal nursing care. 44 low birth weight newborn babies of first time mothers hospitalized in high risk ward, Police General Hospital 22 babies in experimental and control group equally. The research instruments used were the maternal empowerment program combined with gentle human touch, and the data collection instruments used were the maternal empower scale and neonatal assessment coding sheet. All instruments were tested for content validity by experts. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way repeated measure ANOVA. The results revealed that:
1. Neonate’s sleeping and waking up stage: Neonatal in experimental group had differences in Quiet sleep, Drowsy, Awake alert, Active awake and Crying, but no different in active sleep at .05 statistical significance.
2. Neonate’s motor activity categories: Neonatal in experimental group had differences in Behavioral distress cues, No movement and Smiles, but no different in Motor Activity at .05 statistical significance.
