Infants allocated to the control group were stabilized in a warmer (Resuscitaire; GE Healthcare) or in an incubator and then transported to the neonatal unit in an incubator. Intermittent SSC was initiated after the first 6 hours. Parents in the control group were allowed to stay at their infant’s bedside and were able to touch the infant in the incubator or cot.
