Neobulle Skin-to-skin Stretchy Wrap

What is skin-to-skin contact?

Skin-to-skin contact is the practice where a baby is laid directly on their mother’s bare chest, both of them covered in a warm blanket. It is recommended by UNICEF any time a baby needs comforting or calming and to help boost a mother’s milk supply. Skin-to-skin contact is often recommended in neonatal units, where it is often known as ‘kangaroo care’, helping parents to bond with their baby, as well as supporting better physical and developmental outcomes for the baby. Skin to skin can be also practised by the father.

Why to practice skin-to-skin?

There is a growing body of evidence that skin-to-skin contact has many benefits for both babies and their mothers. 

Skin-to-skin benefits: 

• reduces stress levels, calms and relaxes both mother and baby
• regulates the baby’s heart rate and breathing
• improves oxygen saturation
• regulates temperature
• stimulates baby's digestion 
• stimulates the release of hormones to support breastfeeding (milk volume improves)
• enables colonisation of the baby’s skin with the mother’s friendly bacteria providing protection against infection
• help to create a bond between mother and baby

Babywearing skin-to-skin contact will bring benefits to you and your baby. It is particularly recommended in cases of premature birth.
