It is very important to control the temperature of the newborn baby. Cold hands and feets are characteristic of healthy babies; it does not mean that they feel cold.
The permanent proximity of the mother facilitates skin-to-skin contact, a situation favoring the maintenance of the baby's temperature.
It is recommended that bathing be delayed, if possible over 24 hours after birth, and that the environment where the newborn baby is placed be free of air currents.
Appropriate clothing of the baby for ambient temperature is recommended. This means one to two layers of clothes more than adults, and use of hats/caps.
