Several factors can lead to hypothermia in newborns, including:
Prematurity: Preterm infants are more susceptible due to their underdeveloped physiology. Environmental Factors: Exposure to cold delivery rooms or inadequate postnatal warming can lead to rapid heat loss. Infections: Sepsis and other infections can disrupt normal temperature regulation. Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar levels can impair the body's ability to generate heat.
