The recordings were made using no wires to avoid interference with the care of the neonate.

The foot skin temperature was directly related to the care situation, being significantly higher when the baby was with the mother. The abdominal skin temperature was much less influenced by external factors. When the neonates were with their mothers, the mean difference between rectal temperature and abdominal skin temperature was 0.2\u00b0C compared with a mean difference between rectal temperature and foot skin temperature of 1.5\u00b0C, indicating a positive heat balance. In the cot the corresponding temperature differences were 0.7\u00b0C and 7.5\u00b0C. A temperature difference between rectal and foot skin temperature of 7\u20138\u00b0C indicates a heat loss close to the maximum for which a neonate can compensate (about 70 W\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> This study emphasises the importance of close physical contact with the mothers for temperature regulation during the first few postnatal days.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2004.066589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,26]],"date-time":"2005-10-26T03:34:05Z","timestamp":1130297645000},"page":"F500-F504","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Temperature variation in newborn babies: importance of physical contact with the mother"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"A-L","family":"Fransson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H","family":"Karlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Nilsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090515080199000_90.6.F500.1","unstructured":"Tafari N.
