Aim This paper integrates clinical expertise to earlier research about the behaviours of the healthy, alert, full‐term infant placed skin‐to‐skin with the mother during the first hour after birth following a noninstrumental vaginal birth. Method This state‐of‐the‐art article forms a link within the knowledge‐to‐action cycle, integrating clinical observations and practice with evidence‐based findings to guide clinicians in their work to implement safe uninterrupted skin‐to‐skin contact the first hours after birth. Results Strong scientific research exists about the importance of skin‐to‐skin in the first hour after birth. This unique time for both mother and infant, individually and in relation to each other, provides vital advantages to short‐ and long‐term health, regulation and bonding. However, worldwide, clinical practice lags. A deeper understanding of the implications for clinical practice, through review of the scientific research, has been integrated with enhanced understanding of the infant's instinctive behaviour and maternal responses while in skin‐to‐skin contact. Conclusion The first hour after birth is a sensitive period for both the infant and the mother. Through an enhanced understanding of the newborn infant's instinctive behaviour, practical, evidence‐informed suggestions strive to overcome barriers and facilitate enablers of knowledge translation. This time must be protected by evidence‐based routines of staff.

“…In the present DAG, for example, whether or not an individual was breastfed directly influences an individual's weight (Marseglia et al, 2015;Wang, Collins, Ratliff, Xie, & Wang, 2017). Although we assume that whether or not an individual was breastfed does not increase or decrease an individual's likelihood of experiencing child maltreatment, we expect that whether or not a mother chooses to breastfed may reflect an underlying (and unobserved) propensity to neglect children (Kremer & Kremer, 2018)-this underlying propensity is a direct risk factor for child maltreatment, and thus the DAG demonstrated that the model should control for breastfeeding. The DAG also established that our model should not control for variables on the causal path between maltreatment and BMI-such as diet, physical activity, or pubertal status-as including these mediators would bias point estimates (Parsons, Power, Logan, & Summerbelt, 1999).…”

Background: Prior studies have suggested maltreatment is a strong predictor of later weight outcomes, such that maltreatment experiences in childhood increase the likelihood of being overweight or obese in adulthood. Estimates of this relationship may be biased due to: 1) inadequate selection of covariates; 2) improper operationalization of child maltreatment; and 3) restricting analyses to cross-sectional outcomes.Objectives: Evaluate how latent classes of child maltreatment experiences are associated with a longitudinal BMI measure from adolescence to adulthood.
