“…22 For breastfeeding mother-infant dyads, SSC enhances the opportunity for an early first breastfeeding, which, in turn, leads to more readiness to breastfeed, an organized breastfeeding suckling pattern, and more success in exclusive and overall breastfeeding, 12,25,26 even after cesarean deliveries. 27 Further evidence shows a benefit for mothers after cesarean deliveries who practice SSC as soon as the mother is alert and responsive in increased breastfeeding initiation, decreased time to the first breastfeeding, reduced formula supplementation, and increased bonding and maternal satisfaction. 28 Increasing rates of breastfeeding ultimately have short-and long-term health benefits, such as decreased risk of infections, obesity, cancer, and sudden infant death syndrome.…”

Skin-to-skin care (SSC) and rooming-in have become common practice in the newborn period for healthy newborns with the implementation of maternity care practices that support breastfeeding as delineated in the World Health Organization's "Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding." SSC and rooming-in are supported by evidence that indicates that the implementation of these practices increases overall and exclusive breastfeeding, safer and healthier transitions, and improved maternal-infant bonding. In some cases, however, the practice of SSC and rooming-in may pose safety concerns, particularly with regard to sleep. There have been several recent case reports and case series of severe and sudden unexpected postnatal collapse in the neonatal period among otherwise healthy newborns and near fatal or fatal events related to sleep, suffocation, and falls from adult hospital beds. Although these are largely case reports, there are potential dangers of unobserved SSC immediately after birth and throughout the postpartum hospital period as well as with unobserved rooming-in for at-risk situations. Moreover, behaviors that are modeled in the hospital after birth, such as sleep position, are likely to infl uence sleeping practices after discharge. Hospitals and birthing centers have found it diffi cult to develop policies that will allow SSC and rooming-in to continue in a safe manner. This clinical report is intended for birthing centers and delivery hospitals caring for healthy newborns to assist in the establishment of appropriate SSC and safe sleep policies.

“…Iranian researchers showed that early SSC has a significant and positive effect on early breastfeeding and its duration (25,(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)43)Keshavarz et al reported that duration of exclusive breast feeding at six month of life was higher than that of RCs was (P < 0.05) (29). Kamalifard et al also showed that SSC has a significant positive effect on mean exclusive breastfeeding duration in infants receiving KMC (119.8 ± 13.2 vs 110.7 ± 24 days; P < 0.04) (42).…”

“…Similar to the study of Moore and Anderson (59). Beiranvand et al and Ali-Akbar et al observed that early SSC after delivery had positive effects on full-term infant's pre-feeding behaviors (33,34). These behaviors have been considered effective on breast-feeding.…”

Context: Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a supportive technique that beings at the neonatal period and is one of the skin-to-skin contact methods of holding neonate by mother. This method has an important role in exclusive breastfeeding and thermal care of neonates. This study aimed to investigate the application of KMC and evaluate the effect of this technique in different neonatal outcomes, particularly in Iranian neonates. Moreover, this review can be a tool for formative evaluation for this newly introduced treatment intervention in Iran. Evidence Acquisition: This review was conducted in national and international databases concerning experience with KMC on term and preterm neonates admitted in Iranian hospitals from 2006 to 2014. The measured outcomes included physiologic, psychologic, and clinical effects of this practice on newborn infants. Results: In this study, 42 Persian and English language papers were reviewed and finally 26 articles were selected. Various effects of KMC on different factors such as analgesia; physiological effects, breastfeeding, icterus, length of hospitalization, infection, psychologic effects, and weight gain were found. Conclusions:The results showed that as a simple and suitable strategy for increasing the health status of the mothers and newborns, KMC had an important role in improvement of neonatal outcomes in neonatal wards of Iranian hospitals in recent ten years. Therefore, promoting this technique in all neonatal wards of the country can promote health status of this population.

“…The use of SSC after cesarean section was an unusual practice due to the risk of hypothermia. yet recent randomized clinical trials that examined the effect of SSC after cesarean section concluded that SSC doesn't increase the risk of hypothermia [35,36].Neonates accompanied by health care professionals such as doctors and nurses have a poorer outcome than those who are accompanied by their parents during transportation from delivery room to NICU [11]. Additionally, A randomized controlled trial that compares between the effect of ssc and conventional incubator on physiological stabilization revealed the following stabilization scores: 77.11 for SSC versus 74.23 for incubator, mean difference 2.88 (95% CI: 0.3-5.46, p = 0.031).…”

The First Sixty Minutes in Preterm Neonates’ Life: Predicted Morbidities and Interventions

Preterm neonates are more vulnerable to many diseases and complications than full-term infants as most of their biological systems are still underdeveloped. Fortunately, most of these morbidities are preventable as there are many interventions that could be performed in the first 60 minutes of neonatal life to avoid them and their long-term consequences, thus rightfully defining 'the golden hour'. The objective of this article is to review the potential morbidities that neonates might experience and understand their mechanisms, risk factors and its possible outcomes. We also reviewed the possible actions that could be implemented during the golden hour to prevent these morbidities and investigated their effectiveness. Medline and Cochrane database for systematic review were the main two electronic database that we used to search for studies. Studies pertaining to morbidities, such as hypothermia, hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), Chronic lung disease (CLD) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) have been selected according to their full text accessibility for us. Reports related to possible interventions that could be performed to prevent these morbidities have also been involved that include but not only restricted to drying & head coverings, polyethylene occlusive skin wraps, ambient room temperature, pre-warmed incubator, heated humidified gases, heated mattress and skin-to-skin contact for hypothermia; dextrose infusion pump, dextrose burette and oral dextrose for hypoglycemia; indomethacin, ibuprofen, antithrombin and heparin for IVH; surfactant and CPAP for respiratory distress; controlling oxygen saturation for ROP. Keywords: The First Sixty Minutes in Preterm Neonates' Life: Predicted Morbidities and Interventions 2/8Copyright: ©2018 El-Atawi et al. the relation between severe hypothermia (<32°C) and shortand long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes are required. Moderate hypothermia was found to be associated with severe intraventricular hemorrhage, intraventricular leukomalacia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Yet, these associations should be analyzed carefully since they were based on studies with a wide confidence interval. More studies with larger sample size are warranted to accurately illustrate these associations [5]. Moreover, hypothermia increases oxygen consumption, thus leading to hypoxia and subsequently pulmonary vasoconstriction which, in turn, declines surfactant production and worsens respiratory distress. The presence of comorbidities with hypothermia increases the fatality rate, so adding a higher category to the severity of hypothermia would represent an effective addition to the WHO classification of the severity of hypothermia [8].Large surface area of neonates in relation to their small body weight makes them more vulnerable to hypothermia than fullterm babies. Preterm neonates have a higher transepidermal water loss than term due to their immature epidermal layer [9]. Their premature vasomotor control which acts as a thermoregulatory mec...
