Effect of Thermoregulation Bundle Applied at Birth on Neonatal Physiological Parameters and Breastfeeding

Maintaining neonatal body temperature (thermoregulation), particularly during the first hour after birth, is critical for survival and successful adaptation to the extrauterine environment. Implementation of a thermoregulation bundle is expected to facilitate faster stabilization of physiological parameters and to positively influence the initiation of breastfeeding as well as overall breastfeeding success. The effects of a thermoregulation bundle applied at birth on neonatal physiological parameters-including body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation-and on breastfeeding outcomes will be evaluated.
