What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Despite the enormous advantages that skin-to-skin contact (STSC) and Delaying Cord Clamping (DCC) bring, newborns can lose heat quickly if they are not thermally protected. In the first 10-20 minutes after birth, newborns can experience a body temperature drop of between 2°C to 4°C if they are not properly dried and covered.
