Can we normalize skin-to-skin cuddles WAY beyond the first few hours after birth? 🤍
Skin-to-skin is often talked about as something that’s important immediately after birth but those quiet moments of connection can continue to be meaningful throughout infancy.
Your baby’s nervous system is still developing, & your warmth, touch, smell, voice & heartbeat provide familiar sensory input while you connect with them.
& it isn’t just beneficial for baby.
Sometimes you need that quiet moment, too.
No schedule.
No fancy equipment.
No activity to check off your list.
Just you & your baby. 🤍
Of course, safety matters make sure you’re awake & alert, baby is positioned safely, & their airway remains clear.
So if you needed a sign to put your phone down & go have a cuddle...
This is it. 🥰
