Routine nowadays.: This is the most mother-friendly process to be used during cesarean delivery. Immediate skin to skin contact with the newborn stimulates maternal oxytocin release and helps with decreasing blood loss. It also provides priceless opportunity for emotional bonding and is highly recommended. We use it routinely at my hospital for the past several years.
