The Power of Skin-to-Skin Contact

📢 Did you know that your touch is one of the most powerful tools for your baby’s development?

Skin-to-skin contact is more than just a warm embrace—it’s a biological necessity that strengthens the dyad. Research shows that when you hold your baby skin-to-skin:

✅ Their heart rate, breathing, and temperature stabilize more easily
✅ Oxytocin (the “love hormone”) increases, strengthening emotional connection
✅ Stress hormones decrease, leading to better sleep and reduced crying
✅ Breastfeeding success improves, supporting long-term health

This simple but powerful practice helps build the foundation of security and trust that babies need to thrive. If you’ve experienced the benefits of skin-to-skin, share your story in the comments! 💛

At Dynamic Dyad, we recognize that postpartum challenges extend beyond physical recovery—financial strain, lack of support, and systemic barriers can make this transition even harder. That’s why we launched the Postpartum Peace Initiative in partnership with the Grand Rapids Community Foundation—to support birthing parents in Grand Rapids during this critical time.

💰 What is it?
Every month in 2025, we will provide up to $2,000 to a birthing parent residing in Grand Rapids to help cover essential expenses—allowing them the space to heal, bond, and adjust without financial stress.

💡 Who is eligible?
✔ You must be a birthing parent navigating the postpartum period.
✔ You must reside in Grand Rapids, MI to qualify.

📌 Applications are now open! Apply here: https://forms.gle/5CjAHKG8PnoQse818
