Skin-To-Skin Contact Is Necessary For Newborns

There is a common belief held by doctors all over that skin-to-skin contact is vital for newborns. Moms and dads are often advised to hold their newborns on their bare chest, allowing for their child’s bodies to take in all of the benefits. This is especially beneficial for premature babies where specialists in the neonatal field agree that every newborn should have skin-to-skin time with their parents. “Research has also found positive associations with cognitive and motor skills, and psychosocial benefits, such as attachment and parental confidence,” Akron Children’s Hospital reports.
