[ID] 1059 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Lactation Professional Other Areas: WIC peer [Comment] Moms must be encouraged by all nursing staff and doctors to do skin to skin with baby immediately after birth and at least through first feed. All hospital staff must be educated on benefits of this practice and follow through with assisting mom whenever possible per AAP guidelines. Currently the only people encouraging this are the breastfeeding helpers, the moms would be much more apt to do skin to skin with everyone stating the same thing. Sometimes moms are even prevented from doing this when they want to. [Topic]
