In contemporary views, if the baby is born at full term with a good tone and normal respiration (or healthy cry), only routine care needs to be given. The baby is to be kept dry, warm, and with airways clear. If, the baby does not satisfy the criteria of term tone and breathing, he/she has to be in the the warmer area and subjected to a neonatal resuscitation algorithm.
