    Immediate drying of newborns within 30 seconds from the head to extremities is important to prevent hypothermia and ensure survival. Skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby prevents issues like hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and sepsis while improving breastfeeding. The umbilical cord should be clamped and cut after pulsations stop, between 1-3 minutes, to decrease infant anemia and brain hemorrhage. Breastfeeding should be initiated within the first hour to reduce neonatal mortality and provide benefits.

    immediate and thorough drying

    Immediate and thorough drying of the newborn prevents hypothermia which


    is extremely important to newborn survival

    Dry thoroughly the newborn for at least 30 sec.

    Starting from the face , head, trunk, and extremities of baby.

    Note : while performing this, quick check for the breathing of the baby

    Remove all the wet clothes

    early skin-to-skin contact


    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

    Place the baby unto mother’s abdomen or chest with a prone position, with
    the head turned at one side

    Cover the baby with dry clean cloth

    properly-timed clamping and cutting of the cord


    Properly timed cord clamping and cutting until the umbilical cord pulsation
    stops decreases anemia in one out of every seven term babies and one out of
    every three preterm babies. It also prevents brain (intraventricular)
    hemorrhage in one of two preterm babies.
    Change the the 1st set of sterile gloves into a new one

    Palpate umbilical cord for at least 1-3 minutes

    Clamp cord when the umbilical pulsation stopped

    Clamp the cord for at least 2 cm by a sterile plastic clamp

    Clamp again for at least 5 cm away from the base. Milk the cord before we
    clamp it.

    Cut the cord slightly near at the sterile plastic clamp

    Note: Do not cut in the midway.


    non-separation of the newborn from the mother for early breastfeeding
    initiation and rooming-in.
    Breastfeeding initiation within the first hour of life prevents an estimated
    19.1% of all neonatal deaths.

    For: BLEST
    B- the breastfeeding success
    L- Lymphoid tissue stimulation
    E- External exposure to maternal flora
    S- sugar to prevent hypoglycemia
    T- for thermoregulation

    Advice the mother to maintain skin to skin contact on her baby

    Observe feeding cues.

    Instruct and support the mother for the breastfeeding position and
    attachment. As a student nurse we need to wait for full breastfeeding to be
    completed

    First attachment and breastfeeding to your baby

    Observe for breastfeeding cues like

    Sunod po ma’am intructionan o suportahan ko po kayo ma’am para sa mga


    posisyon po na makakatulong sa breasfeeding and your attachment for your
    baby po ma’am,

    Okay ma’am?

    So ma’am iiwanan ko po muna kayo sandali at babalik lang po ako agad
