One of the simplest ways to welcome your newborn is also one of the most meaningful. 🤍
Skin-to-skin contact offers some wonderful benefits for both mother and baby.
It can help support baby's temperature regulation, heart rate, breathing, and early feeding behaviors.
It also creates an opportunity to rest together, bond, and begin getting to know one another.
And it isn't limited to those first moments after birth.
Skin-to-skin time can continue throughout the early days, whenever mother and baby are stable and comfortable.
Sometimes the most valuable things we can offer a newborn are warmth, closeness, and time.
