U.S., Feb. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06827522) titled 'The Effect of Skin-to-skin Contact Between Mother and Newborn' on Feb. 04.
Brief Summary: A 2016 Cochrane Review shows that skin-to-skin contact promotes breastfeeding and strengthens mother-infant bonding. For the mother, skin-to-skin contact was found to promote early separation of the placenta, reduce postpartum haemorrhage, increase breastfeeding self-efficacy, reduce stress levels and promote oxytocin release. For the infant, it has been revealed that it provides important benefits such as decreased postnatal stress, improved thermoregulation, shortened crying time and increased breastfeeding success.
