Yes, WHO guidelines on thermal protection of the newborn are very good
tool for change. Here in Ukraine we now have 2 mandatory hours of
uninterrupted skin to skin contact after birth, early breastfeeding
and delayed weighing, bathing etc in our national protocols - and all
those great things are for thermal protection.
When I worked for the Maternal and Infant Health Project/JSI Ukraine,
we made a small and simple teaching video on 10 warm chain steps (BTW
I did all the animation work so it is kind of my baby).
