The importance of skin to skin Baby care after giving birth
According to the Baby care research, the baby will become more stable and happier when you use the skin to skin contact with the mother after giving birth. The baby heart and the breathing rate will become normal and stable while the blood sugar of the baby will also be elevated. This contact will also help the baby to become colonized with the same bacteria from the mother which means that the baby will become more protected against the allergic diseases. When the baby is kept in an incubator, the skin and the gut will be colonized by different bacteria from that of the mother and the baby will be more vulnerable.
This is the same for the baby who has been born in good health as well as the baby who have been born prematurely. The skin to skin care has been found to be helpful to any premature baby. When the baby is kept away from the mother in the incubator in the blanket, it will become lethargic or he can become too disassociated and he can begin to cry and to protest in despair. This is because the baby cannot connect with the mother in the way that the nature tends it to be. When the baby is in the contact with the mother, he will become warm, breathing naturally, staying calm and he will begin to search for the breast.
The baby who is kept in the skin to skin contact with the mother, he is able to latch better without any help after he has been born. The skin to skin contact has to be done immediately after the birth and this can last for more than an hour and it has to continue to be done also in following weeks. The baby who is kept in skin to skin contact will have the following benefit. He will be able to latch easily and well. He will be able to maintain normally temperature than using the incubator. He will maintain normal blood pressure, respiratory and heart rates. Its blood pressure will increase and he will cry less often. The baby will be able to breastfeed longer and the mother can know when he is full.
To gain complete benefits of skin to skin contact, the Baby care (in Denmark we call that Babypleje til dit spædbarn )experts agree that this has to be done immediately after the birth and the hospital Baby care like weighing the baby should not be done before.
Skin care is vital , because you have to protect your baby from nappy rashes (called baby rød numse udslæt in Denmark) and other sorts of issues.
The baby has to dried off and be given to the mother immediately. The baby has to be put on the mother’s chest and he can try to get to the breast at its own. If the mother has been given any medication when giving birth, she should not be left alone. The midwife, the nurse or the physician has to be always with her when taking care of the baby. Any vaccination, eye drops and vitamins that have to be given to the mother or the baby have to wait until this process has already been finished. The Baby care studies have also shown that the premature babies benefit more from this process than full term babies.
