I have read a bit about the positives of naked skin to skin contact straight after baby is out. Apparently it is very good between mother and baby and helps bonding with father and baby if done for a significant amount of time (maybe an hour in total?).
I would really like to try this and wanted to know if others have and if they think it made any difference. I don't know if the hospital would even allow this as I don't know what exactly they need to do straight after baby is out such as cleaning and check ups.
I would also like to try it so my DH can bond with our LO straight away as apparently the baby can get used to his smell and be comforted by his heart beat etc...
