✨ The Mother Hen Golden Hour ✨
Those first 60 minutes after birth are incredibly precious. 🤍
Whenever it is medically safe and possible, baby deserves the opportunity to be placed directly on their parent’s chest for uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact—to feel their warmth, hear their heartbeat, and begin getting to know one another.
The Golden Hour can support:
🤍 Bonding and connection
🤍 Baby’s temperature, breathing & heart rate
🤍 Early feeding cues and chestfeeding
🤍 A calm transition into the world
It’s not about rushing a first feed or following a perfect timeline. It’s about giving parents and babies time and space to simply be together.
And if medical circumstances mean that Golden Hour looks different than planned, that’s okay. Bonding has no deadline. ❤️
At Mother Hen, I believe those first moments matter. Whenever possible, let’s protect them. 🐣✨
