“…It helps in initiating breast feeding (BF) and in reducing infant’s stress in the first few hours after birth [1,2,3]. With the rapid technological advancement in perinatal care, the practice, however, lost its rightful place in most modern-day obstetric units [4].…”

Aim: To evaluate if early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) improves breast-feeding (BF) behavior and exclusive BF (EBF) rates in term infants at 48 h of age. Methods: Term infants born by normal delivery were randomized at birth to either early SSC (n = 20) or conventional care (controls; n = 21). SSC was continued for at least 2 h after birth. Subsequently, one BF session of the infants was video recorded at about 48 h of life. The primary outcome, infants’ BF behavior at 48 h of life, was assessed using the modified infant Breast-Feeding Assessment Tool (BAT; a score consisting of infant’s readiness to feed, sucking, rooting and latching, each item scored from 0 to 3) by three independent masked observers. The secondary outcomes were EBF rates at 48 h and 6 weeks of age and salivary cortisol level of infants at 6 h of age. Results: Baseline characteristics including birth weight and gestation were comparable between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the BAT scores between the groups [median: 8, interquartile range (IQR) 5–10 vs. median 9, IQR 5–10; p = 0.6]. EBF rates at 48 h and at 6 weeks were, however, significantly higher in the early-SSC group than in the control group [95.0 vs. 38.1%; relative risk (RR): 2.5, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.4–4.3 and 90 vs. 28.6%; RR: 3.2, 95% CI: 1.6–6.3]. Interpretation: Early SSC did not improve BF behavior at discharge but significantly improved the EBF rates of term neonates.

“…Therefore, a child who does not gain weight will not be able to maintain his established growth curve, or tends to cross over into a lower growth curve, which is interpreted as 'losing weight'. Mother and infant are 'mutual caregivers' [42]; the child who engages the mother visually, smiles or babbles and gains weight provides feedback to the mother that she is 'doing a good job', whereas a child who is colicky, cries, arches away from the mother and does not seem to eat enough causes the mother to worry and to try to compensate. She may feed the child more frequently than a child who eats well and she will also feed the child longer to compensate for the emerging weight loss [43].…”

“…Intrapartum SMYLI involves a stress-free environment by positioning the just delivered infant above the placenta and the returning of the just delivered infant to the mother. Postpartum SMYLI involves ongoing selfregulatory interaction during the immediate and later postpartum periods and includes sensory contact, nutritive and non-nutritive sucking and auditory stimulation (Anderson, 1977).…”

Maternal Satisfaction and Experience with Skin to Skin Contact Immediately After Cesarean Birth: Implications for Practice

Skin-to-Skin contact (SSC) immediately following birth is being recognized as important for mother and infant health and is related to mothers' satisfaction with the birthing experience.SSC immediately following cesarean birth can have similar outcomes, however the practice is not widely adopted. The purpose of this scholarly project was to describe the satisfaction and overall patient experience of birth mothers regarding SSC with their infants immediately following Cesarean Birth. The Modified Questionnaire Measuring Attitudes About Labor and Delivery (QMAALD) measured maternal satisfaction and the Picker Patient Experience survey measured patient experience. Thirty mothers who had a cesarean birth completed both surveys and while there was no relationship between separation time and higher scores, over 80% of the mothers had overall satisfaction and patient experience.
