SSC can be safely used in extremely preterm infants. SSC can be initiated during the first week of life
and is feasible in infants requiring neonatal intensive care, including ventilator treatment. During SSC, the conduction
of heat from parent to infant is sufficiently high to compensate for the increase in evaporative and convective
heat loss. The increased water loss through the skin during SSC is small and should not affect the infant’s fluid
balance
