Sex differences in newborn interaction with mother or father during skin-to-skin contact after Caesarean section

Abstract

Conclusion: Early mother-infant SSC immediately after Caesarean section should be promoted until the occurrence of the first breastfeed. If the mother is unable to provide SSC immediately after birth, the father-infant SSC is a valuable alternative because it enhances paternal interaction.
