Skin-to-Skin with Baby: Much More Than Just a Cuddle
Skin-to-skin is much more than just a cuddle. It’s a unique moment that promotes your baby’s well-being while creating a deep and reassuring bond between you two. But did you know that its benefits go far beyond just the cuddling aspect? If you're looking to understand why this gesture is essential and how to practice it in the best way, this article is for you. We will also introduce you to our From Bump To Baby band, the perfect companion for these precious moments.
Skin-to-Skin: A Natural and Essential Contact
Skin-to-skin involves placing your baby, naked (or almost), against your chest. This instinctive gesture is actually a real gem for their well-being and development. A return to basics that strengthens the parent-baby bond from the first hours of life.
The Invaluable Benefits of Skin-to-Skin
Skin-to-skin is not only pleasant but also incredibly beneficial, both for your baby and for you.
1. Strengthens the Parent-Baby Bond
This direct contact triggers the release of oxytocin, the hormone of happiness and attachment. A true love boost for your baby... and for you!
2. Helps Baby Regulate Their Temperature
A true natural central heating system. Your body adapts to keep your baby warm, particularly useful for newborns, and even more so for premature babies.
3. Calms Baby (and You Too!)
A baby who cries less makes a more peaceful parent! Skin-to-skin reduces baby’s stress, decreases crying, and promotes more restful sleep. Bonus: it works on you too, so why not enjoy it!
4. Promotes Breastfeeding
Skin-to-skin stimulates lactation and helps initiate breastfeeding. A natural boost for peaceful feedings.
5. Encourages Baby’s Development
Heart rate, breathing, digestion... Skin-to-skin gently boosts your baby’s physical and cognitive development.
How to Practice Skin-to-Skin?
1. Choose the Right Moment
From birth, or whenever you wish. There’s no deadline for offering your baby this cocoon of softness.
2. Create a Calming Environment
A quiet space, a comfortable temperature, and a bit of time on your hands... and you’re ready for a magical moment.
3. Enjoy Prolonged Contact
30 minutes, an hour, or even more... The more you practice skin-to-skin, the more benefits you (and your baby!) will get.
4. Use a Skin-to-Skin Band
Skin-to-skin is a special moment that requires you to be well positioned. Note: our From Bump To Baby band is not a carrying solution. It does not allow for hands-free carrying. Its role is to support skin-to-skin contact, providing gentle support.
If you’re looking for a physiological carrying option from birth to do skin-to-skin while keeping your hands free, here are two suitable options:
- Carry & Pack T-shirt, lightweight and breathable, perfect for summer.
- Motherhood/Fatherhood Hoodie, ideal for keeping your baby warm when it’s cooler.
