Summary

At birth, the passage from intrauterine to the aerial life can be considered as one of the most stressful and painful life events. Skin-to-skin contact (STSC) with mother is known to provide numerous virtues and World Health Organisation (WHO) recently supported the introduction of such care among healthy, term-born neonates. Here, the investigators hypothesized that immediate STSC could reduce neonatal, birth-evoked stress and pain. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the pain and stress response of C-section born neonates that received either immediate STSC with mother (intervention) or classical support and monitoring (control).
