Skin-to-skin contact stimulates your baby's natural instincts.
This helps your baby attach to your breast and starts your milk flowing.
Right after birth, your baby can be placed directly onto your bare chest. You can enjoy this special contact until after the first breastfeed.
Skin-to-skin isn't just for the first moments. It can happen any time you and your baby need comfort, calming or support while learning to breastfeed.
Skin-to-skin contact is important for every baby and mum. While it's especially powerful in the hours after birth, skin-to-skin can be just as beneficial in the days, weeks, and months that follow. Whether you're comforting your baby, supporting breastfeeding, or simply enjoying a quiet moment together, skin-to-skin contact continues to offer lasting benefits for both of you. 🩵🩵🩵
