Hi everyone, I have recently looked at a BSc dissertation with many
references on this topic. I could put you in touch with the author if this
would help.

I wonder if people do not always understand the concept of skin-to-skin contact, as pictures in textbooks have sometimes shown mother and baby without covering over them. Drying the newborn in association with skin contact has been highlighted as important in studies and covering is needed to prevent heat loss.

Anecdotally we've heard about babies suffocating/occluded airways etc.
