Skin to skin is a right in a healthy newborn baby after birth look at the stats

Where you allowed to to skin to skin immediately after birth! Let us know please

👉 75% of babies who received early skin-to-skin contact breastfeed exclusively at 1 month, compared with 55% of babies who do not.

Source: Cochrane Review (Oct 2025) on skin-to-skin contact outcomes (69 trials, 7,000 pairs).

"The review found that about 75% of babies receiving early skin-to-skin contact were breast feeding exclusively at 1 month compared with 55% of babies in the groups that did not receive skin-to-skin contact. Newborns also benefit from more optimal sugar levels, body temperature, breathing and heart rate.

Despite guideline recommendations to initiate immediate, uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact until after the first breastfeeding, many health systems still separate mothers and infants during this period."

Early skin-to-skin contact is linked with improved exclusive breastfeeding outcomes backed by strong evidence.

So why are "many health systems" still separating mothes and babies?

Dressing for Christmas Day doesn't have to mean sacrificing feeding access! Before the big family photo, choose outfits with easy pull-down or lift-up access (wrap dresses, two-piece sets). The quicker the latch, the less stress for you and baby. Style and function can co-exist! 😉 What's your favourite breastfeeding-friendly holiday outfit?

Did you know one of the superpowers of your breastmilk

This is so true

"Pass the gravy, not the baby!" 🚫 Your little one can get easily overstimulated and exposed to too many germs during busy family gatherings. Baby-wearing is your secret weapon! It keeps your baby safe, snuggled, and close for easy, discreet feeding cues—plus, you get to keep your hands free!
