When you and your little one are together, hormones that regulate lactation balance out, helping you to produce more milk and breastfeed more successfully.
A 2012 study published in Neonatology showed that 95% of moms who did skin-to-skin contact with their babies were breastfeeding exclusively 48 hours after delivery, and 90% continued exclusive breastfeeding 6 weeks later.
