According to Jeannette T. Crenshaw, writing for the Journal of Perinatal Education-

'What mothers and babies need most after birth is each other, with unlimited opportunities for skin-to-skin care and breastfeeding. When health professionals respect, honor, and support the physiologic need that mothers and babies have for each other after birth, they also improve the short- and long-term health outcomes for mothers and babies.'

At JCHC, we couldn’t agree more.  That is why we make it a priority in both C-Section deliveries and Vaginal deliveries to encourage skin to skin bonding moments between mom and baby as soon as possible.
