ResumoStudies show that breastfeeding rates are lower among women who give birth by Cesarean than to women who give birth vaginally. Keys to successful breastfeeding include initiation within an hour of birth, feeding frequently and on demand, limiting maternal-infant separation, and maternal-infant skin-to-skin contact soon after birth. However after a Cesarean birth, mother and infant may be monitored postoperatively for several hours, often in separate rooms and without the opportunity to breastfeed and bond. The purpose of this program is to increase rates of successful breastfeeding initiation after Cesarean by increasing rates of early skin-to-skin contact.
