[quote=Anonymous]They don't tell you that they can usually put the baby on your (bare) chest immediately after the birth - if you specifically ask, and you have no complications/side effects from the drugs, and your partner is there to assist. In general no one really tells you how important skin to skin is for both of you - helps baby regulate their body temp, start initiate breastfeeding which should happen ASAP, and helps with bonding. Even if your baby goes to the NICU you can request to do skin to skin. There's lots of scientific evidence of its benefits. It's pretty amazing and you shouldn't miss out if possible! And if baby can't go on your chest, dad's bare chest is the next best thing for the baby. https://www.unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/baby-friendly-resources/implementing-standards-resources/skin-to-skin-contact/ https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/health-care/maternity/early-skin-to-skin-contact.pdf [/quote]
