SkinToSkin is
mammalian behaviour which involves a
mother holding her
newborn at birth and is also known as the first embrace - despite some trying to question its benefits the evidence is now roaring loudly at us-
human mammals benefit from SkinToSkin . It's about
love
When I had my caesarean section I insisted that my baby was passed to me and I needn't have worried , the midwife knew all about SkinToSkin contact and the benefits it can bring - she was amazing .
When a newborn is held immediately by its birth mother / father or other mother - skin to skin at birth is crucial for human attachment & helps kickstart the amygdala of the brain (the happiness centre)
When I gave birth to my baby girl / boy , I immediately scooped her /him up into SkinToSkin contact .
