Skin-to-skin contact with babies increased significantly after training Targeted training interventions for both health professionals and parents significantly increase the amount of skin-to-skin contact between newborns and their parents in the first 48 hours after birth. The proportion of babies who received nearly 24 hours of skin contact over the first 24 hours increased from 33% to 58%. This is shown in a new study published in Acta Paediatrica from Uppsala University.
