What should you exclude from aggressive warming techniques for newborn infants?

Aggressive warming techniques for newborn infants can pose risks such as overheating, which can lead to complications including an increased metabolic demand and potential harm to the delicate thermoregulation that newborns possess. Using heat packs directly on newborns is considered too aggressive because they can create uneven heat distribution and hot spots, which can lead to burns or overheating.

Swaddling, drying, and using warm blankets are all standard practices that help retain body heat and provide a comfortable environment for newborns without the dangers associated with direct heat applications like heat packs. These methods allow for controlled warming while prioritizing the baby's safety and stability.
