Basic Neonatal Care

When a baby is born, it is very wet from the amniotic fluid. The newborn baby can easily become so cold outside mothers womb soon after the exposure to the external environment. Therefore, drying the newborn using a warm blanket is the first step in neonatal care to prevent heat loss. This can be done using towels or clothes while the newborn is being placed on the mother's abdomen or in her arms. This mother-child skin to skin contact is very very important to maintain the newborn’s body temperature.
