Birth bonding and contact by Joy Wisdom
The contact between mother and child should not be interrupted immediately after birth. Those few moments (30-60minutes) are very important. The first 15 minutes, when oxytocin is apparent and the love hormone is being released, are critical for bonding and recognition.  Many trials have shown the benefits of a baby being left with mum to bond after birth. However because of the high levels of clinical intervention today, this no longer happens in many cases.  o  Shown
