As an emotional being we are, human beings are born with the ability to love and be loved. At birth, the baby goes through an especially sensitive period in which he needs to be in skin-to-skin contact with his mother, feel his warmth and feel protected. Your world outside the womb should be as close as possible to what it was inside.
That is why it is recommended to remain skin to skin with the baby after childbirth, even after a C-section, and whenever desired, both with the mother and the father. It is a very beautiful experience, always taking the necessary precautions to avoid any risk to your life. But Why is skin-to-skin contact so important for the baby?
In this video, the neonatologist Nils Bergman, expert in the Kangaroo Mother method, explains the neurological mechanisms that the baby's brain experiences when in skin-to-skin contact with his mother and why it is so important for both the beginning of his life as for its development in childhood.
The basis is in the confidence and love that is transmitted to the baby when practicing skin to skin. An experience that will influence the development of their emotional intelligence and their way of establishing social relationships with other people. It is very interesting.
