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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a new care routine for clamping the umbilical cord right after birth, developed with expert input, to see if it improves health for mothers and their newborns. Participation involves following this routine during your delivery and having your and your baby's outcomes tracked.
This trial tests a way to keep track of body temperature continuously for both mothers and their preterm babies, to see if it helps monitor their health more closely. It might improve care for babies born a bit early.
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.
This trial studies outcomes in newborns who had breathing problems from low oxygen before or during birth and were treated with a cooling therapy (therapeutic hypothermia). It may help doctors understand which babies benefit most and what recovery looks like over time.
