The Magic of Skin-to-Skin Contact with Your Newborn 🤱💞

Skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care, is one of the most powerful ways to bond with your newborn. This simple practice offers numerous benefits for both baby and parents.

1. Boosts Bonding

Holding your baby skin-to-skin helps create a strong emotional connection and fosters feelings of love and security. The close physical contact helps your baby feel safe and comforted, which is essential for their emotional development.

2. Regulates Temperature

Your body acts like a natural incubator, helping to regulate your baby’s temperature. When your newborn is placed on your chest, your body heat keeps them warm, ensuring they stay at a comfortable and safe temperature.

3. Stabilizes Heart Rate and Breathing

Babies held skin-to-skin often have more stable heart rates and breathing patterns. The rhythmic sound of your heartbeat and the rise and fall of your chest provide a calming and familiar environment, helping to stabilize your baby's vital signs.

4. Promotes Breastfeeding

Skin-to-skin contact can stimulate milk production and make breastfeeding easier for both mom and baby. The close proximity encourages your baby to latch on and nurse effectively, supporting successful breastfeeding from the start.

5. Reduces Stress

Skin-to-skin contact reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in both you and your baby, promoting relaxation and calmness. This reduction in stress is beneficial for your baby's overall well-being and can help you feel more relaxed and connected as well.

6. Improves Sleep

Babies tend to sleep better and longer when held skin-to-skin, which can help their overall development. The warmth and comfort of being close to you can lead to deeper and more restful sleep, aiding in your baby's growth and brain development.

Embrace these moments of closeness and enjoy the incredible benefits that skin-to-skin contact brings to you and your little one. Each moment spent skin-to-skin helps to build a strong foundation for your baby's physical and emotional health.

This is a time of healing and transitioning All births have an adjustment period, even the smoothest, least traumatic, most empowering births end with a new baby and a new mum that need to adjust to each other, and adjust to a new world, with both of them finding their place in it So New Mums should try to focus on the bigger picture during their confinement period and I promise that a lot of the small stuff, that can become big if not kept in check, won't even be a question 1️⃣ This is a time for new mums to bond with their baby 2️⃣ This is a time for new mums to use their body to help their baby recover and transition 3️⃣ This is a time for new mums to use their babies natural reflexes to help the mothers body, mind and spirit recover and transition WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN PRACTICE? Lots and lots and lots of cuddles, skin to skin, feeding and sleeping If this natural rhythmn of cuddles, skin to skin, feeding and sleeping is interrupted because a new mum is finding any aspect difficult, and if the small stuff is becoming too big to handle, then reach out to people that can help.

took the entire month of august, two and a half bags of gf flour (over thirty dollars. of flour), about five accidental attempts at mass familial poisoning (kept making treats with the discard blissfully unaware that it wasn't actually colonized by yeast yet at all but by other less yummy bacteria [which is why the entire concoction smelled evil]), and several days of cosleeping with the jar (somehow miraculously didn't spill all over the couch/crush it) but my sourdough starter is FINALLY off the ground and healthy and making genuinely sour ass yummy bread. took four times the amount of time and significantly more resources than i expected but i put a little pink bow on her and she's so cute now that i forgive her

Where has the time gone! My little human is two months old! . . . He now weighs 4 lbs and 14 oz! He takes 44 ml (~1.5 oz), has eaten between 20-40% of his feedings by mouth. Latches like a pro. And loves to poop in the middle of changing his diapers, not just one but twice usually! . . . Yesterday he got his two-month immunizations, and he handled it like a champ! I shed a fear tears because I hate seeing him cry. However, I am so proud of my little man. . . . #nicustrong #preemiestrong #preemie #nicubaby #nicu #update #wls #vsg #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #babyboy #baby #babyboy💙 #babiesofinstagram #kangaroocare #skintoskin #babyluca #neonatal #postpartum #35weeks #nicujourney #twomonthsold #breastfeeding #pumpingmom #pumpingmama #munchkin #milkmaker #showherlove #lucaa415 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeG3ppBzxQ/?igshid=lkjj0zbipsk0

She's such a dedicated mom despite having a hard time of things. Luckily, she already has a wonderful forever home lined up for when her babies are weaned and old enough to separate. For anyone who hasn't picked up the story, Persephone here was bought at a shady Indianapolis pet store along with some siblings as pets for a small child. When Persephone was found one morning with a broken knee joint they spent a week waffling on getting her a needed amputation. They decided they couldn't afford it for "just a rat" and our vet contacted us to see if they could point her toward us to receive humane care. When the people showed up to surrender her, she was obviously pregnant, and the family admitted she had already had a litter before because her brother was missexed at shady pet store and is an escape artist. She had her litter of ten babies 90 minutes after being surrendered, so our vet did a special plan amputation where they did minimal drugs and minimal cuts because she'd have to go straight back to nursing after the surgery. #rat #babyanimals #nursing #skintoskin #amputee #toughlife #rittens https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLrIrVhdAf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=165ldu1s32njr

Today is World Prematurity Day. Today is about increasing awareness of prematurity. Today we stand united around the world. This year's focus is on the introduction of skin to skin immediately after birth. The message to be conveyed is " A parents embrace is a powerful therapy"  In IPB we have been massive advocates of  skin to skin care since 2009. Research has documented its powerful effects on preterm babies and parents. The WHO is pushing the message today across the globe.  Preterm babies and parents both thrive with skin to skin care. #worldprematurityday #worldprematurityday2022 #Ireland #skintoskin #kangaroocare #preterm #neonatolgy #pretermbirth #prematurity #prematurityawareness #neonatal #nicu #nicunurses #nicuparents (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClD40tgqmKH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a wonderful journey this little boy is taking me on. . . . He’s moved into a big boy crib, has been doing really good breastfeeding, and has also started bottling! These little baby steps will help us get one step closer to home! He weighs 4 lbs and 9 oz, and is taking 40 ml (~1.4 oz). . . . #nicustrong #preemiestrong #preemie #nicubaby #nicu #update #wls #vsg #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #babyboy #baby #babyboy💙 #babiesofinstagram #kangaroocare #skintoskin #babyluca #babylucaam #neonatal #postpartum #postpartumjourney #breastfeeding #pumpingmom #pumpingmama #munchkin #milkmaker #showherlove https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRXhvYhKIU/?igshid=rxjvjcayqy11
