Love your baby with skin contact
Your baby loves the feel of your skin on her skin. Very important things happen when you hold her close to your chest.
- She is receiving warmth, breast milk, comfort and protection – all the things she needs!
- When she lies on your chest even her lungs will function better because she isn’t cold.
- She can hear your heartbeat and your voice which calms her and helps her grow well.
- Having your baby rest on your chest helps your breasts make more milk for her to drink and she will grow strong.
- Skin to skin contact is especially important if your baby was born with a lower birth weight.
Let your baby spend as much time as possible lying skin on skin on your chest from the moment she is born.
