Four Time-Bounded Interventions:
- Immediate and thorough drying,
- Early skin-to-skin contact followed by,
- Properly-timed clamping and cutting of the cord after 1 to 3 minutes, and
- Non-separation of the newborn from the mother for early breastfeeding initiation and rooming-in.
Immediate and thorough drying of the newborn prevents?
hypothermia which is extremely important to newborn survival
Keeping the mother and baby in uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact prevents
hypothermia, hypoglycemia and sepsis, increases colonization with protective bacterial flora and improved
breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity
Breastfeeding initiation within the first hour of life prevents
an estimated 19.1% of all neonatal deaths.
What newborn care practices in the delivery room should no longer be continued?
- Manipulation such as routine suctioning of secretions if the baby is crying and breathing
normally. Doing so may cause trauma or introduce infection. - Putting the newborn on a cold or wet surface.
- Wiping or removal of vernix caseosa if present
- Foot printing
- Bathing earlier than 6 hours of life
- Unnecessary separation of the newborn primarily for weighing, anthropometric
measurements, intramuscular administration of vitamin K, Hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccine - Transferring of the newborn to the nursery or neonatal intensive care unit without any indication
