What and how does it help with?
In: 191
There are some things that skin on skin contact aides in but these are also things that will occur naturally already without skin on skin contact. Sharing of bacteria, adapting to cold, etc. all things that are gonna happen anyways.
Skin on skin is more about “feeling close” to the baby and emotional well-being. There is some science in that it promotes oxytocin which helps stop/control post birth bleeding and encourages breastfeeding mechanisms…. but a lot of the more general claims are things that’ll happen with or without.
