Temperature, metabolic adaptation and crying in healthy full‐term newborns cared for skin‐to‐skin or in a cot
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare temperatures, metabolic adaptation and crying behavior in 50 healthy, full‐term, newborn infants who were randomized to be kept either skin‐to‐skin with the mother or next to the mother in a cot “separated”. The babies were studied during the first 90 min after birth. Axillary and skin temperatures were significantly higher in the skin‐to‐skin group; at 90 min after birth blood glucose was also significantly higher and the return towards zero of the negative base‐excess was more rapid as compared to the “separated” group. Babies kept in cots cried significantly more than those kept skin‐to‐skin with the mother. Keeping the baby skin‐to‐skin with the mother preserves energy and accelerates metabolic adaptation and may increase the well‐being of the newborn.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
