Hi all,

Does anyone know of any studies/articles documenting the efficacy of skin to
skin contact in heating a cold newborn?  (Not kangaroo care articles -- they
won't do for this particular group that is requesting the information).  What
I'm after is an article that demonstrates that putting a full term newborn
skin to skin with mom will bring his core temperature up to normal as quickly
as putting him stark nekked under a warmer.

Anyone have anything?

TIA,
