One of the most exciting moments that occurs immediately after birth is known as Breast Crawl, or crawling to suck, in which the newborn looks for his mother's breast to breastfeed.
They are some fundamental minutes since they mark the beginning of breastfeeding as soon as birth, without waiting. Within the first hour of life, when the baby is very receptive and the mother's organism has an important oxytocin discharge, it is the ideal time to establish breastfeeding, favoring the imprint on the baby and an early attachment bond between mother and mother. newborn.
Upon birth, the baby is placed skin with skin on the mother's abdomen and is able to "track" her mother without any help looking for the breast to feed itself.
It is a completely instinctive act. The newborn has the ability to explore and "crawl" by moving his legs and arms to find the chest and make his first shot.
The first hour of life is very important for both the mother and the baby. Both are in a state of calm conscience (if you notice the baby does not cry), they recognize each other, the baby receives the warmth of his mother's skin, his smell, he feels his breath.
It is a magical hour in which both must be respected without stress or unnecessary interventions that can wait for later. This moment of Breast Crawl (crawling to breastfeed) in which the newborn looks for his mother's breast to breastfeed It can't be postponed.
