Skin-to-skin is highly recommended during the early days and weeks after birth.This delicious, intimate contact has incredible benefits to both you and your baby and needs to be protected as sacred and necessary.
➜ Skin-to-skin helps release important hormones in both of you to stimulate intense attachment and bonding.
➜ Heart rate, blood sugar levels, breathing, and core body temperature are all regulated as the baby is snuggling skin-to-skin with you.
➜ This natural urge for closeness with your baby is also known to promote successful breastfeeding, as it helps to stimulate milk production and encourages your baby to latch on and nurse.
