Abstract	There is an increasing interest in understanding the newborn child and evaluating the adequacy of care procedures at the maternity hospital. The aim of this research was to study the newborns’ reactions during the baths, respectively given by the nurse within the first hours of life, and by the mother, seventy-two hours after birth. Thirty-two newborns (full-term gestation) were filmed in the first situation and twenty of them were also filmed in the second one. The states’and behaviors of the newborns were investigated, as well as the adult behavior. Data were analyzed according to sex, type of birth, and situation (nurse x mother) (analysis of variance - ANOVA). We performed an ANOVAS on the data of the first situation (nurse): in cases of birth with surgery the ~equency of semi-dozing state was lower, before [F(2,24) = 3.11, p < 0.10] and after [F(2,24) = 3.50, p < 0.05] the bath, suggesting an abrupt procedure that results in an agitation state which is similar for ali the babies. Then, we performed ANOVAS including the comparison of the two situations: the neonates showed more agitation in the bath givenby the nurse [F(1,14) = 9.05, p < 0.01] and calmer alert inthe bath given by the mother [F(1,14) = 8.26, p < 0.05), probably a consequence ofthe kind of stimulation provided. The bath is seen as an adequate moment for social interaction as it can promote the calm alert state, thus increasing the contact between the newborn and the environment.
