Comparison between the effect of skin to skin contact mother and newborn and routine care on temperature and breastfeeding successfulness in full term newborns after cesarean delivery. 2012-06-21 anticipated Complete https://irct.ir/trial/8160 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Other design features: Randomization will be done by using of random numbers table and closed envelopes. N/A Condition 1: Temperature of newborn. Condition 2: Breastfeeding. Intervention 1: Intervention group: After the mother’s cesarean delivery and her transfer to the ward, the naked newborn, in prone position, will be placed between the mother’s breasts for skin to skin contact with her. To avoid heat wastage, the newborn’s head will be covered with a hat and his / her back will be covered with a blanket. The mother's and newborn’s temperatures will be measured immediately after skin to skin contact and every half hour for one hour with IN4 model infrared ray thermometer on the forehead. Also, Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBAT) will be used to measure infants’ success in breastfeeding; which includes four subscales: Readiness to feed, rooting reflex, latching on to the breast and sucking reflex. Each subscale has 0-3 scores and the total score ranges from 0-12. Intervention 2: Control group: After the mother’s cesarean delivery and her transfer to the ward, the dressed newborn will be placed in the bassinet or in the mother’s bed as a hospital usual method. The mother's and newborn’s temperatures will be measured when newborn handed to her mother and every half hour for one hour with IN4 model infrared ray thermometer on the forehead. Also, Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBAT) will be used to measure infants’ success in breastfeeding; which includes four subscales: Readiness to feed, rooting reflex, latching on to the breast and sucking reflex.
