our fcc research committee did a study (n=62) on this, we have an abstract,
comparison graph, and skin to skin warming policy/procedure. i think a poster
presentation will be done at an upcoming awhonn conference.

<<In addition it would be nice to tell mother something else she can do for
her baby (gets them together in bed!)>>

this, along with facilitating bf, are mentioned as issues in the policy.
