We are looking at this also, looking at the idea of doing bath on mother's chest and rewarming there rather than in the warmer. IN the OLD days when I worked L&D, we did bath under a warmer only uncovering one part of body at a time, then dried well, capped and placed baby skin to skin. I've since been up to do non-separation babies this way and found they didn't get cold at all. And dad makes a pretty good warming tray as well. Only problem with dad was in one of my babies - daddy overheated the baby a bit!

Contact the University of MI at Ann Arbor, MI. They don't bathe babies until parents ask for bath and they do it in the mom's room under a warmer that is kept for just this purpose. (the warmer is cleaned and returned to a safekeeping place on the floor after the bath.) I certainly think that going back to STS after the bath is better than a mechanical warmer, whenever and where ever baby gets bathed.
Unless mom is known HIV or other blood borne contagious illness, I think your infection control people are out of control :-) Pat in SNJ.
