“…If administration of vitamin K shot is a routine, this should occur soon after birth while the catecholamine levels are highest , preferably with the newborn infant skin‐to‐skin with the mother, as skin‐to‐skin contact has been shown to lower the baby's reaction to pain in the postpartum .…”

Aim This paper integrates clinical expertise to earlier research about the behaviours of the healthy, alert, full‐term infant placed skin‐to‐skin with the mother during the first hour after birth following a noninstrumental vaginal birth. Method This state‐of‐the‐art article forms a link within the knowledge‐to‐action cycle, integrating clinical observations and practice with evidence‐based findings to guide clinicians in their work to implement safe uninterrupted skin‐to‐skin contact the first hours after birth. Results Strong scientific research exists about the importance of skin‐to‐skin in the first hour after birth. This unique time for both mother and infant, individually and in relation to each other, provides vital advantages to short‐ and long‐term health, regulation and bonding. However, worldwide, clinical practice lags. A deeper understanding of the implications for clinical practice, through review of the scientific research, has been integrated with enhanced understanding of the infant's instinctive behaviour and maternal responses while in skin‐to‐skin contact. Conclusion The first hour after birth is a sensitive period for both the infant and the mother. Through an enhanced understanding of the newborn infant's instinctive behaviour, practical, evidence‐informed suggestions strive to overcome barriers and facilitate enablers of knowledge translation. This time must be protected by evidence‐based routines of staff.

“…Twenty‐five studies were included, and overall results indicated skin to skin care was an effective strategy that significantly minimised pain scores, behavioural changes and physiological responses during single painful procedures such as a heel lance in neonate infants (Johnston et al., ). Skin to skin contact between infants and their mothers has also been demonstrated to reduce near‐infrared spectroscopy pain responses in preterm infants during venipunctures (Olsson, Ahlsén, & Eriksson, ).…”

“…However, recent studies show that skin‐to‐skin contact with their mothers reduces contralateral somatosensory activation during venipuncture in premature infants. This implies that skin‐to‐skin contact is an easy method by which parents can also get more involved in their infants’ care and pain management . Recent studies link aberrant emotional processing has been linked to developmental disorders with impairments in social interaction and communication such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) .…”

Emotional stimuli processing during childhood helps us to detect salient cues in our environment and prepares us for our social life. In early childhood, the emotional valences of auditory and visual input are salient and relevant cues of social aspects of the environment, and it is of special interest to understand how exactly the processing of emotional stimuli develops. Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive neuroimaging tool that has proven valuable in studying emotional processing in children. After conducting a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases, we examined 50 NIRS studies performed to study emotional stimuli processing in children in the first 2 years of age. We found that the majority of these studies are done in infants and the most commonly used stimuli are visual and auditory. Many of the reviewed studies suggest the involvement of bilateral temporal areas in emotional processing of visual and auditory stimuli. It is unclear which neural activation patterns reflect maturation and at what age the emotional encoding reaches those typically seen in adults. Our review provides an overview of the database on emotional processing in children up to 2 years of age. Furthermore, it demonstrates the need to include the less‐studied age range of 1 to 2 years, and suggests the use of combined audio‐visual stimuli and longitudinal studies for future research on emotional processing in children. Thus, NIRS might be a vital tool to study the associations between the early pattern of neural responses and socioemotional development later in life.

Skin‐to‐skin contact reduces near‐infrared spectroscopy pain responses in premature infants during blood sampling

Abstract: This study showed that skin-to-skin contact between premature infants and their mothers during venepuncture had a pain-relieving effect.
