When either the mother or the new-born become hypothermic after a CS, there is a higher chance that both will be separated in order to be heated, often in different rooms. When this separation takes place, SSC is interrupted, early breastfeeding is delayed and the stress levels of the mother will increase as she would be concerned about her new-born's wellbeing. Additionally, babies who become hypothermic once, or have reoccurring cases of hypothermia, after birth are more likely to have invasive procedures such as blood sugar monitoring, rectal temperature measurements and blood checks for microbiological investigation and prophylactic administration of IV antibiotics (as per hospital's guidelines). These invasive procedures could be prevented especially in low risk babies (i.e. term babies with weight within the normal limits, or babies whose mothers are not diabetic) by keeping them warm and providing early feeding and SSC.
