Part 4: Skin-to-Skin — A Simple, Powerful Support

Skin-to-skin contact does more than encourage bonding. It supports newborn regulation and helps stimulate hormones involved in milk release.

  • Support feeding cues

  • Promote effective milk let-down

  • Reduce stress for both parent and baby

If milk volume feels slow to increase, bringing baby closer is often a helpful and gentle place to start.
