Breast Feeding - English

Skin to Skin – The Golden Hour

When your infant is born we would like to place your infant skin to skin with you. This is a special time for bonding, allowing your infant to transition to life outside the womb gently. When your infant is born, he/she will be placed on your bare chest. You will both be covered by a blanket. A hat will be placed on your infant’s head. Your infant will be able to rest there, listening to your heartbeat, as he/ she did before birth. He/she will then be able to move to the breast in their own time and begin to feed.
