If you've had a vaginal delivery and you and your baby are in good condition, you'll immediately have skin-to-skin contact with your newborn.
Medical staff place your baby directly onto your abdomen and dry them there. (Newborn babies don't have the ability to control their temperature well, so after a baby is born it's important to keep them warm and dry.) Your baby is covered with a warm towel or blanket and given a cap to keep their head warm. Skin-to-skin contact also helps keep your newborn warm and lets the two of you start bonding as well.
