Citation Information

Poor thermal care is demonstrated through lack of continued skin-to-skin contact and frequent bathing— often with cold water for low-birth weight or small babies. Thermal care prac tices in some communities also expose the newborn to smoke from open fires. Poor hygienic practices are also reported, particularly lack of or inconsistent hand washin g prior to contact with the newborn.

Interpretation: Cultural beliefs and practices do not conform to recommended standards of newborn care. Behaviour change messages should be informed by local perspectives related to newborn care practices. Such messages should target mothers, grandmothers, TBAs, other female family members and fathers.
