Oxytocin is further released during labour when the fetus stimulates the cervix and vagina, and it is believed that it plays a major role in the bonding of a mother to her infant and in the establishment of maternal behaviour. (wikipedia.org)
Body temperature2
This checks that the baby is able to have a stable body temperature in normal room. (stanfordchildrens.org)
The ratio of surface area to body mass of a full‐term newborn baby is approximately three times that of an average adult, necessitating a high rate of energy expenditure to maintain body temperature. (oncohemakey.com)
Delivery2
It involves four stages of labour: the shortening and opening of the cervix during the first stage, descent and birth of the baby during the second, the delivery of the placenta during the third, and the recovery of the mother and infant during the fourth stage, which is referred to as the postpartum. (wikipedia.org)
As of 2014,[update] all major health organisations advise that immediately following a live birth, regardless of the delivery method, that the infant be placed on the mother's chest (termed skin-to-skin contact), and to delay neonate procedures for at least one to two hours or until the baby has had its first breastfeeding.

Premature8
The term applies to premature, mature and postmature infants. (nursingpaper.org)
The terms preterm and postterm have largely replaced earlier terms of premature and postmature. (wikipedia.org)
Preterm and postterm are defined above, whereas premature and postmature have historical meaning and relate more to the infant's size and state of development rather than to the stage of pregnancy. (wikipedia.org)

these innate effectors may work synergistically to provide a first line of defense against infection, as well as to promote interactions between the innate and adaptive immunity in newborn infants. (everythingbirthblog.com)
vernix caseosa is involved in maintaining the water balance in the skin of a newborn and in that way, helps to maintain skin temperature as well as the right water activity in the skin for optimal skin barrier formation. (everythingbirthblog.com)
