“…31 Delayed bathing, which is defined as delaying the first bath until at least 24 h of life, is recommended by the World Health Organization and has a range of benefits for newborns. 75 Delaying the first bath has been shown to decrease rates of hypothermia and hypoglycemia in newborns, 27 , 76 while improving exclusive breastfeeding. 27 , 77 , 78 , 79 Retaining the vernix and amniotic fluid by delaying bathing aids in temperature regulation, and the scent of amniotic fluid helps to guide newborns during breastfeeding.…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread worldwide, it is crucial that we determine populations that are at-risk and develop appropriate clinical care policies to protect them. While several respiratory illnesses are known to seriously impact pregnant women and newborns, preliminary data on the novel SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus suggest that these groups are no more at-risk than the general population. Here, we review the available literature on newborns born to infected mothers and show that newborns of mothers with positive/suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection rarely acquire the disease or show adverse clinical outcomes. With this evidence in mind, it appears that strict postnatal care policies, including separating mothers and newborns, discouraging breastfeeding, and performing early bathing, may be more likely to adversely impact newborns than they are to reduce the low risk of maternal transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or the even lower risk of severe COVID-19 disease in otherwise healthy newborns.

“…Estudos apontam melhores taxas de aleitamento materno e estabilidade térmica, bem como absorção completa do vérnix caseoso quando o banho era realizado após 24 e até 48 horas (Chamberlain, et al, 2019, Gözen, et al, 2019 e recomendam colocar o RN em contato pele a pele após o banho para manutenção da temperatura e vínculo, prática simples e de baixo custo (Kelly, et al, 2018, Khan, et al, 2018, Tengattini, 2016, Turney, 2019. O período de reatividade também deve ser considerado, durante a adaptação extrauterina o RN passa a assumir novas funções comportamentais e fisiológicas que podem ser influenciadas por estímulos externos resultando em respostas exacerbadas de todos os sistemas, adiar procedimentos de rotina é recomendado para garantir uma transição segura e gentil (Turney, 2019).…”

Objetivo: descrever os indicadores bibliométricos da produção científica nacional e internacional sobre o banho do recém-nascido a termo e sua evolução histórica nas últimas seis décadas. Método: estudo bibliométrico, com utilização das leis Lotka, Bradford e de Zipf. O levantamento da literatura foi realizado no mês de dezembro de 2020 e foram incluídos estudos que abordassem o tema banho no recém-nascido termo publicados entre 1970 a 2020. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 83 publicações com predomínio de estudos realizados na América do Norte em língua inglesa e os tipos de estudos mais frequentes foram os randomizados controlados. Os artigos foram escritos por 367 autores diferentes, identificados em 44 periódicos. Principais palavras-chave encontradas: recém-nascido, banhos e cuidados com a pele. Conclusão: esta pesquisa possibilitou descrever as mudanças e lacunas deste cenário nos contextos nacional e internacional e incentivar produções com alto nível de evidências.

“…Although few studies have been reported on immediate washing of babies after birth, some published guidelines recommend that newborn babies be washed immediately to reduce the risk of transmission ( Puopolo et al, 2020 ). Besides these recommendations, some studies indicate that delaying newborn washing has important benefits such as increasing breastfeeding rates, and immediate washing of the newborn has significant risks such as hypothermia and hypoglycemia ( Chamberlain et al, 2019 ; Dumitriu et al, 2021 ; Warren et al, 2020 ). In a retrospective cohort study the benefits of starting breastfeeding immediately and delaying washing the baby on baby outcomes were supported ( Dumitriu et al, 2021 ).…”
