The skin-to-skin contact maneuver (kangaroo) has shown benefits in newborn babies. This is two-arm randomized open clinical trial to evaluate whether the use of a scarf specifically designed to facilitate the skin-to-skin method is effective in terms of increasing the skin-to-skin mother-neonate time, compared to traditional clinical practice. Mothers of full-term babies with expected delivery in the study centers will be included. Those mothers with a language barrier that prevents collaboration in the study procedures, cognitive impairment or morbid obesity will be excluded. The primary endpoint is the average daily skin-to-skin time during hospital admission days. A superiority analysis will be made in terms of the skin-to-skin time of the intervention arm, compared to the control arm.
