The research indicated that a higher temperature of the mother's nipple-areolar complex (NAC) may facilitate the process of a newborn's ability to crawl to the breast when placed skin-to-skin on the woman's abdomen.
The study, published in Acta Paediatrica, explored the thermal gradient generated by the lips of the neonate and warmth of the NAC, which may drive the infant directly to the nipple.
The researchers prospectively studied 41 full-term singleton infants and their mothers at the Policlinico Abano Terme, Italy, between 01 January and 28 February 2015.
NAC and breast quadrant temperatures were assessed 6 ± 2 hours prepartum and one and two days postpartum, together with the neonate's lip temperature.
The temperature of the neonate's lips was significantly lower than the forehead temperature on days one and two postpartum.
