On my walk today, Dec 10th 2020 I explore the first hours with your baby right after giving birth.
The golden hours. ✨
This is a heightened and magical time for this new human being, the birth giver and the partner.
It's bonding time!
Everything else can wait.
No procedures or checkups are needed that can’t be done with baby skin to skin.
Unless there are special circumstances. In this event skin to skin can happen once baby is reunited with their parents.
Join me to learn about skin to skin and why it is so important.
Become aware and understand a significant moment, of pause that happens, for birth givers.
Between giving birth and the will to reach out for the first embrace with their baby.
I believe that there is nothing more fascinating than witnessing instinctive breast crawl and self-attachment.
Did you know that this is part of the foundation of breastfeeding?
During the golden hour babies have all the reflexes and instincts to self-attach and latch for the first time.
The first hours of bonding can show up as pure joy and love. But can also feel awkward and overwhelming. This and any emotion that you’re feeling is normal! It can take time to feel connected with your baby.
There are many benefits to skin to skin for everyone involved. One of the main ones being the secretion of hormones that support bonding! In the first hours and days with your newborn spend as much time as you can with them skin to skin.
