The benefits of skin-to-skin breastfeeding in the first month of life: a scoping review
| Resumo: | Introduction: Breastfeeding is fundamental for both mom and baby, promoting their health. Immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth facilitates breastfeeding and brings significant benefits for both. Objective: Mapping the benefits of skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn in establishing breastfeeding during the first month of life. Materials and methods: A scoping review was carried out according to the principles of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Results: Five studies were included in this review after applying the defined selection process. The results suggest that skin-toskin contact positively benefits the success of breastfeeding in the first month of life. It is inferred that breastfeeding lasts longer, the longer skin-to-skin contact lasts. Socio-economic and emotional benefits are pointed out as a consequence of this practice. Conclusions: Skin-to-skin contact is a determining factor in the NB’s adaptation to life outside the womb. The importance of skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn is clear, promoting successful breastfeeding, strengthening the bond and facilitating the baby’s healthy development |
