This document includes aspects of neonatal and maternal health that are likely to have a direct impact on the baby. Although it was prepared for the LAC region, these aspects are relevant to many health facilities and communities in developing countries. This bibliography includes summaries of relevant program experiences and available evidence for some components of newborn care. It includes abstracts of articles from journals, as well as references to some resource materials, tools, and documents published by various organizations. The abstracts are divided into sections, and some abstracts are related to more than one topic. For example, some references on cord care are listed not only under the main section on cord care but also under prevention of maternal and neonatal tetanus, and some references on breastfeeding are included under mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS besides the chapter on breastfeeding. This bibliography is not meant to be an exhaustive review, but rather is meant to highlight information of relevance to technical personnel, organizations and stakeholders interested or involved in implementing newborn health interventions at facility and community levels.
