[quote=Anonymous]It's fine. Because of an emergency c-section I didn't hold my first child and barely did skin-to-skin in that first week. My husband is a devoted and very attentive father, but he didn't do skin-to-skin. He and the kids are very close. I think we fetishize these things too much. Nothing is a guarantee of closeness and nothing is going to definitely impede closeness. Each minute is another opportunity for you to engage with and get to know your child. Don't start a fight at a stressful time. There's no reason to force him to engage in skin-to-skin. You need each other. Be a team. Be understanding of each other's limitations and flaws are work to support each other.[/quote]
