“…[18,19] In addition: it regulates heartbeat, body temperature and breathing of the newborn; shortens interval between delivery, and initiation of breastfeeding; calms sleep; elongates breastfeeding period and enhances success of continued breastfeeding. [20,21] Public agencies, NGOs, UNICEF and WHO recommend that breast feeding should begin in the first hour after giving birth and advocate it as the only feeding method for the first 6 months of life. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommends that "healthy infants should be placed and remain in direct SSC with their mothers immediately after delivery until the first feeding is accomplished".…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early maternal /newborn skin-to-skin contact after birth on the duration of third stage of labor and initiation of breastfeeding. A non-randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted at a labor and delivery unit of National Medical Institution in Damanhour, Albehera Governorate, Egypt. A purposive sample of 100 laboring women was recruited. The project included a study group (50) who considered skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and a control group (50) who received routine hospital care. Three tools were used to collect data. The first tool was a structured interview to elicit socio-demographic and obstetric characteristic. Second tool was an assessment of mothers during the third stage of labor. Third tool was the Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, which comprised two parts: The Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBFAT): and the outcome assessment of first breastfeeding. The results revealed that success in first breastfeeding was higher among study group compared to control group. There are statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in third stage of labor duration, complete placental separation, and immediate contraction of the uterus, position of uterus, absence of any abnormal signs such as uterine atony or excessive blood loss. The mean duration of the third stage of labor in the study group was significantly shorter (2.8 ± 0.857 minutes) than among those in the control group (11.22 ± 3.334 minutes) (p < .01). The study concluded that mothers who practice early maternal/newborn SSC immediately after birth experience shorter duration of the third stage of labor and early successful initiation of breastfeeding. Consequently, it is recommended that a continuous educational and training program be provided to all midwives and nurses working in the delivery room about the implementation of SSC for all mothers, and clarify the benefits for the mother and her neonate.

“…AWHONN recommends that an appropriately trained health care professional (e.g., registered nurse, midwife, nurse practitioner, physician) be in attendance for all immediate skin-to-skin sessions during the first two hours of life and that the infant and mother be observed frequently during this time. While most researchers suggest that there are no risks to the mother or newborn during skin-to-skin sessions (Moore et al, 2012;Kostandy et al, 2013), there are case reports of sudden, unexpected postnatal collapse of healthy term infants who were positioned prone during skin-to-skin contact (Ludington-Hoe & Morgan, 2014;Pejovic & Herlenius, 2013). There is no agreed upon definition of sudden, unexpected infant collapse in the literature.…”

“…good sleep of SSC may have affected the improved mental and motor development in SSC low birthweight infants as compared to control infants up to 1 (Bera et al, 2014) and 16 years of age (Schneider, Charpak, Ruiz-Peláez, & Tessier, 2012). Skin-to-skin contact sleep may raise concern of infant smothering, but good positioning and vigilant observation can reduce this risk (Ludington-Hoe & Morgan, 2014).…”

Birth and the newborn environment are stressful, especially for preterm infants who have to contend with medical conditions while adapting to the extrauterine world. Therefore, preterm newborns are excellent candidates for comforting measures. Skin-to-skin contact is the best way to provide comfort in several of the realms of Kolcaba's Comfort Theory. Evidence suggests that skin-to-skin contact between the mother and newborn changes the discomforting newborn environment into one that is profoundly comforting. Skin-to-skin contact promotes infant physiologic stability and warmth, helps in organizing infant sleep, reduces stress and pain, and makes breast milk readily available. Comfort to the newborn can be effectively accomplished by skin-to-skin contact.
