[Newborn care in the delivery room]. / L'accueil du nouveau-né en salle de naissance.

The arrival of a newborn in the delivery room is a precious and unique moment which caregivers support by seeing to the comfort and wellbeing of the baby and his or her parents. Developmental care is introduced early, skin-to-skin contact is favoured and invasive treatment is only performed if strictly necessary. At the same time, the teams are ready to intervene in the event of a complication.
