The newborn is a newborn or exit from the womb of a mother through the birth canal (vagina) or through medical treatment within 0 to 28 days. Immediate care to the newborn is given the care of these infants during the first hour after birth. Most newborns will exhibit spontaneous respiratory effort with a little help or interference. One important aspect of immediate care newborn is keeping the baby warm and dry.

Although most of the birth process focused on the mother but because the process is the process of spending pregnancy outcomes (infant), the management of a delivery is successful if other than babies born to mothers are also at optimal conditions. Providing help with immediate, safe and clean is the most important part of newborn care.

The majority (85% -90%) delivery was normal, but the disturbance in pregnancy and childbirth can affect the health of babies born. Most of the morbidity and mortality of the newborn caused by asphyxia, hipotermi, and / or infection. Morbidity and mortality of newborns can be prevented if asphyxia immediately known and adequately implemented also be coupled with prevention and infection hipotermi.

Newborns can not adequately regulate its body temperature and can quickly lose heat and cold, if not immediately prevented. Infants who experience a loss of heat (hipotermi) high risk to fall ill or die. If babies are wet or covered, may experience hipotermi, even within a relatively warm room. Premature or low birth weight are particularly vulnerable to the occurrence of hipotermi.
