Skin-to-skin holding after C-section for breastfeeding and bonding
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether early, skin-to-skin holding (kangaroo care) right after a C-section helps with breastfeeding and bonding between parents and baby. If you're planning a C-section and your baby is healthy, you and your partner may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You gave birth by cesarean section (C-section).
- Your newborn is healthy and stable after birth.
- Both you and your baby's father are willing to take part and hold the baby skin-to-skin.
- Neither you nor your baby's father has health problems that would prevent skin-to-skin contact.
