Thank you for not stopping offering important help but also including everyone in the conversation! I felt terribly for so long for not having skin to skin moments with my baby on our first 5 days in the clinic.

[@mamanursetina]

I see you ♥️

[@noah.r.stewart6666]

My husband wasn’t held by his mother for almost half the day after maybe a few more hours, they both swear to this day that’s one of the reasons they don’t feel a natural bond with each other

[@patreloxtapodaki]

@noah.r.stewart6666 Well, I believe bond is built, so you got to put some effort into it. And with kids, you have plenty of time ahead to do so.

[@noah.r.stewart6666]

@@patreloxtapodaki my husbands mom was a nurse so he was always babysat by his grandma or aunts. So sadly she wasn’t around much, that is until he was older. So I don’t think they ever got that chance

[@animeaunty]

This was not a thing when I delivered but after we got home & his eyebrows were all crusty, I scrubbed my finger n mine & rubbed it on his. His eyebrows cleared up quickly 👍😁

[@monika-1315]

I have also recently heard, that it is very important to do a lot of skin to skin (even 6h per day!) in those early weeks of baby's life, not only first day in the hospital, but then at home (even when it's hot). I helps the baby to sooth and bond with parents❤

[@mamanursetina]

You bet it is

[@fireincarnation2348]

Yes

[@mamabear9646]

No one told me that it helps with blood sugar until just now. We had to stay longer at the hospital because my baby's blood sugar was low.

[@mamanursetina]

Aw I’m sorry to hear that!

[@tmalloy9]

I was around when we implemented this policy, so I can report the differences (anecdotally) first-hand: Mom will stop shivering sooner (usually hormone related, but also temp regulation); baby stays warm (blood flow to mom’s chest increases to warm them, and if dad is recruited, men run hotter anyway); baby can sometimes latch naturally without a nurse dripping sweat on you; and you have a valid excuse to hang on to your baby!🎉 The difference skin2skin makes was absolute magic compared to the old ways. Particularly baby staying warm!!

[@SofiaBerruxSubs]

I was adopted as a baby so my adopted parents and I have a wonderful bond despite not having the golden hour

[@bekkahboodles]

I'm due with my first in November and I am so excited to meet him and do skin to skin! I'm so excited for the cuddles and breastfeeding and getting to see him in my husbands arms🥹🥹❤️❤️

[@mamanursetina]

♥️♥️♥️

[@BrittneyTravis-ux9sc]

And i feel like having your newborn baby safely cuddled up to you would help you calm down aswell,i love holding little babies they're so sweet

[@redhead.v45]

My mom wasn't able to have the skin to skin moment immediately with her third baby because he wasn't breathing when he came out. Luckily after a few days in the NICU and another hospital, my mom was able to visit him and have skin to skin time.

[@christinaeilers3562]

Love this, thanks for sharing 😀

[@tomato.sandwich]

My sister always brings up the fact that I had skin to skin with our mom but she didn’t 😂 she legit thinks it had an effect on her. She’s a silly goose

[@amandafields3723]

My son i jad in 2011 i jad never heard of skin to skin contact. Hospital didn't give him to me til he was diapered swaddled and hat on. My 2nd i had in 2021 skin to skin wasa huge deal he went right on me no diaper nothing. And peed all over my neck and face 😂 but o have ptsd from delivering during COVID-19 alone, with no support person not even my husband, no visitors, my son not eating properly qnd having no support at all during that time. Not Being able to leave my room at all, also i was required to wear my mask during pushing him out and delivery almost passed out bx i couldn't brwthe with it on my face.. i ripped it off told them ur not sending me hime with a baby half way delivered lol. I xouldnt wcen go to Starbucks in the lobby. I was so alone at such a vulnerable time. It was supposed to be a special experience for me and my husband to bring him inro ty66he world together. I ended up with ppd

[@mamanursetina]

Im so sorry, COVID really messed with a lot of things, birth experiences being one of them for sure 😓

[@jcoopes5604]

My first had meconium so he got rushed out to be cleaned up. But it was skin to skin afterwards, it wasn’t long!

[@roar8693]

Keep making these great vids 😊😊😊

[@slpmaterialgirl1]

Nice video 👍🏻❤ thank you for posting

[@shenn141]

This is such important information

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

Thank you for clarifying 🙏🏽🤗😎

[@MASHkicksass]

Thank you so so much for all your information ❤

[@BridgetSzuminsky]

What I’ll never understand is how some hospitals literally charge you for it. For holding your baby.

[@777summer]

Lol can you deliver my baby

[@mamanursetina]

😊♥️

[@raeanna451]

My first had to go to the NICU via ambulance after birth. I didn't get to hold him at all till he was 7 days old. It was the hardest thing and I feel like I am still healing from it. 😮‍💨 We are fine but it was definitely rough.

[@fiorabarclay9228]

I had severe preeclampsia and HELP syndrome with my second baby, he was 12 weeks premature, as soon as he and I were able to do skin to skin which was about a week after birth, we both improved and started healing so much faster, skin to skin is amazing and healing no matter when you get it.

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

I had an emergency c-section under general anesthesia, so I didn't even get to meet my daughter until she was almost 2 days old. She was also in NICU so out physical contact was limited for 2 months. We still have a close bond.

[@AJmeyers]

I GAVE YOU MY BaCtErIa 😂

[@elizabethwinkelman5536]

😂😂😂😂

[@user-lk3mg9kg1t]

Literally everyone: *writes paragraphs* *My mind* : "YOU'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR ME!👹😡😫" "Blud i gave u my bacteria 👁️👄👁️"

[@georgeann3714]

Ive never had skin to skin with any of my kids. Was never told about it once. Maybe because my kids are way older than when this started.

[@larslionheart]

Ah so my mom gave me more than trauma

[@marlenegold280]

They took my babies at each pregnancy away for 5 hours, and never said why when I asked…

[@trinibaca]

What’s your experience with mommas that want to breast feed but have undergone a breast lift? I did in fact breast feed my 3 others in the past with no issues

[@lrso5152]

Hospitals charge new parents 1,000 for skin to skin.

[@mackenzieacree8665]

But WHY is it so expensive to do it???

[@Juliet.09]

Me who just though the nurses were introducing the baby and mom: 👁️👄👁️

[@kail9036]

If something happens to me & I can't do it, will the baby getting skin-to-skin with my partner be as beneficial to the baby? I'm probably never gonna have kids, but I'm curious

[@zodiacfacts49]

My mom didn’t do skin to skin. Like, ever. She also didn’t breast feed me

[@edenmoon8275]

The fact that Americans are charged for skin to skin makes my blood boil

[@cindyjjennigutierrez8231]

My moms sister has had 5 kids is that safe?

[@Joeljigg]

Im not a doctor but i did know someone who had 18 kids total and she lived to her 70's. And honestly if my family took better care of my grandma she would have lived for much longer, so yeah, i think she's ok

[@Ka-Chow95_]

My mum has 5 kids, and, while she is only 50, she should be alright, plus my grandma has had 6 and is 87

[@mamanursetina]

Sure it is! This said the more babies you have the thinner. your lower uterus can get as it grows so there is concern about having a large number of pregnancies if you deliver by c-section. But could chat about it with your provider so they can go over this! But lots of people have lots of babies :)
