Mom should be more with the baby, because skin-to-skin contact is really important for babies

There is a growing body of evidence that skin-to-skin contact after birth is beneficial to infants in many ways. The proven benefits of skin-to-skin contact are as follows: 1. Calms and relaxes the mother and baby; 2. Regulates the baby’s heart rate and breathing rate; 3. Promotes digestion; 4. Regulates temperature; 5. The baby is exposed to the same flora as the mother, thus providing protection against infection; 6. Stimulates foraging behavior; 7. Stimulates the release of hormones to help support breastfeeding; 8. Helps premature babies to be more stable, with body temperature can be better protected against infection, grow and develop well, and be discharged from the hospital earlier; 9. Just after birth babies will instinctively drive them to seek breast milk, which leads to the first breastfeeding. If they are successful, they will remember such sucking, making subsequent breastfeeding easier. After birth, placing the baby on their mother’s breast for skin-to-skin contact will result in the following steps: 1. First a short cry – a very unique birth cry; 2. After increasing, they will begin to crawl towards the breast; 6. Once they have discovered the source of food – the breast, they will often rest for a short while; (usually this is mistaken for the baby not being hungry or not wanting) 7. However, after resting they will begin to become familiar with understanding the breast, then sniffing or licking, and eventually fitting on the breast; 8. Once Once he has sucked for a while, she will let go of the breast and go to sleep All babies follow this process and do not interrupt it under any circumstances. For example, take the baby to be weighed, or the mother to take a bath. Interrupting or trying to rush through this step of the procedure is counterproductive and may lead to problems with breastfeeding later.
