How about turning it around and looking at literature that supports skin to skin, that mother's body is warmest place in the room, that babies who have skin to skin regulate breathing and heart beat better than any other scenario, that the waxy creamy substance on the babies skin (vernix) is beneficial, that it needs to be rubbed into the folds of the skin and that removing the baby from mother's body interrupts bonding.   That as little as 15 minutes away from the mother at birth is harmful to the baby.
The perinatal psychology folks have much literature on the benefits of contact and the harm of separation immediately following birth.
Warmly,
Lisa Boisvert Mackenzie
