It's wonderful stuff 🙂

Exclusive breastfeeding helps a baby to develop a healthy and diverse gut microbiome. Bacteria (probiotics) from the mother get passed on to the baby during breastfeeding - from the mother’s skin and her breastmilk.

The experiences of the first hour after your baby arrives can have a major impact on breastfeeding. Knowing what is normal behaviour in this time period and how to create the space for your baby to move through these normal stages is as important as knowing the stages of labour.

Your baby will go through nine stages during the first couple of hours after birth. Skin-to-skin contact between you and your baby provides the natural location, and the cues, for your baby to move through these nine stages. If you are not able to hold your baby skin to skin during this time, then the baby’s father, another family member or support person can take on this role. If there are medical reasons why your baby can’t be held skin to skin with you right after birth, then start as soon as possible. Continued skin-to-skin contact with your baby has benefits for many weeks.

The nine stages happen in a specific order, and they will happen on their own without any help.
