Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Axillary temperature of the enrolled preterm or low birthweight neonates.[Neonates axillary temperature will be recorded every thirty minutes using a mercury thermometer. The outcome will be assessed for one day since we will collect altogether 10 events (5 events of KMC and 5 events of Thermal jacket) and each event duration is 2 hours. The outcome measurements therefore will be calculated for all the 10 events in the same manner<br>];Axillary temperature of the enrolled preterm or low birthweight neonates.[Neonates axillary temperature will be recorded every thirty minutes using a mercury thermometer.
