I had no idea skin to skin was this important past birth

Thanks for sharing, great reminder!!

We do this every other night :) I notice a huge difference in baby boy when we do it. I love the bonding too!

I didn't realize I should still be doing this. ?

Me neither I had no idea. I have to start this as well.

I love doing skin to skin with kamila I just love feeling her soft warm tiny body laying on my chest but more power if there's benefits to it

Ugh Maddz n Shari me neither. Oddly enough- we did this am. Gotta make it regular. My husband still does with Jude. He loves it since he doesn't nurse him.

Thank you for sharing!

You're welcome. I'm just happy I'm learning this now before it's too late. My sil told me she still does skin to skin with her soon to be 7 month old and his fever left....coincidence? Maybe?

Last time I did this was when she was first born. Tried last night after her bath, but she needed to feed, and then be burped, and then swaddled for bed ...there was just no time!!

We did this today and she has been so damn content since then. Hadn't done it since the hospital. Normally she's wide awake but not happy and fighting sleeping, this afternoon she was wide awake and happy as could be. Barely made a peep even when she was hungry. Definitely doing skin to skin every day.

Thank you for sharing, I had no idea it was so important. Bubs hates being naked but I'll give it a try during his next feed.

Never even thought of this. Will definitely start! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I certainly have to make time for this..just difficult cause I'll have to be at least half naked and in bed and I have other kids to manage and things to get done. But since it's so beneficial I know I need to make it happen for baby sake!
