Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate physiological response, social/emotional response and general movements in preterm infants when they are given skin-to-skin contact with the mother (intervention) or standard care (incubator) right after delivery. Preterm infants will be randomized to either intervention or standard care group. Data on body temperature, blood glucose, hart rate, respiration rate and oxygen saturation will be obtained. In addition the infant will be video-recorded during the first 24 hours and at three months of age for analysis of the general movements.
