Skin-to-skin contact is used to promote parent/infant bonding, especially for premature babies. It is the practice of holding an infant dressed only in a diaper between a mother’s bare breasts contact with parents’ skin, babies remain warm and experience more interaction.
A mother’s chest temperature changes to meet her baby’s needs, rising if baby is cold and decreasing if baby becomes too warm. The mother’s chest responds through biofeedback, doing a superior job when compared to a traditional incubator.
A baby’s stress hormones, blood pressure, oxygenation, temperature and heart rate stabilize with skin-to-skin contact. These findings are changing hospital practices for the better. Babies are more likely to be left on their mothers for at least an hour after birth in order to stabilize vital signs. This is also true before and after any invasive procedure such as drawing blood.
Mothers who practice skin-to-skin care with their infants breastfeed longer and more frequently. Babies have better weight gain and are discharged from the hospital earlier. Mothers also report greater confidence in caring for their infants.
