Skin-to-skin has incredible benefits for both you and baby. And if you’re unable to do skin to skin during your immediate post birth moments your partner or support person can take over that role so that the new baby still sees many of the incredible benefits skin to skin brings! **for informational purposes only** AMAZING tune by Altego Music 🎵 on TT #skintoskin #birthtips #givingbirth #postpartumjourney #childbirtheducation #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliverynurse #newbornbaby #BabyTips | Mam

There are many other benefits of skin-to-skin contact for both you and your baby, such as:⁠ ⁠ ✨️ It helps to develop your baby’s microbiome, the skin flora and microbes we all have and need for healthy skin.⁠ ⁠ ✨️ Your baby feels safe, so they’re calm and settle more easily as they know your heartbeat, breathing sounds, and the sound of your voice.⁠ ⁠ ✨️ It’s great to promote the hormone oxytocin, which helps the mother and baby bond and can reduce bleeding and help breast milk supply.⁠ ⁠ #bottl
