Warming care at birth for newborns
This trial tests a special care bundle to keep babies warm right after birth. It may help with temperature, heart rate, and make breastfeeding easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born vaginally (not C-section)
- Your baby is a single birth (not twins or more)
- Your baby was born full-term (between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy)
- Your baby is healthy with a good Apgar score (at least 7 out of 10 at 1 minute old)
- You plan to only breastfeed (no formula) and have no health issues that could affect feeding

This study tests a special baby warmer (Celsi Warmer) to help warm up newborns who have a low body temperature. If your baby is being treated at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital and cannot do skin-to-skin care, this device may help keep them warm and safe.
This study looks at why some babies, especially premature ones, have trouble keeping warm (hypothermia). It has two parts: one for babies in the neonatal ICU and one for infants under 2 having surgery. The goal is to find better ways to keep them safe and warm.
This study tests whether a special care program including skin-to-skin contact and storytelling helps preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and learn to feed by mouth sooner. It compares this extra care to the usual hospital care.
This study tests whether actively keeping mothers warm during planned C-sections helps prevent newborn babies from getting too cold right after birth. If you are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, this simple extra warmth might benefit you and your baby.
This trial tests a special care bundle for clamping the umbilical cord immediately after birth in first-time mothers. It aims to improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
This study tests if immediate skin-to-skin contact (holding your baby directly on your chest) right after birth helps preterm babies born between 26 and 32 weeks. Your baby might be placed on your skin while still in the delivery room, which could improve their breathing and temperature and help you bond.
