The nurse is teaching prenatal clients about the benefits of skin to skin. Which statement made is correct?
"Skin to skin will help your baby not have jaundice."
"Skin to skin cannot be done if you have a Cesarean-section."
"Skin to skin decreases the rates of post partum hemorrhage."
"Skin to skin helps you bond with your baby, increase milk supply, and reduces your stress."
The Correct Answer is D
A. Skin-to-skin contact promotes thermoregulation and early breastfeeding, which can help prevent severe jaundice by facilitating bilirubin excretion. However, it does not completely eliminate the risk of jaundice.
B. Skin-to-skin can still be done after a C-section, with assistance from the healthcare team.
C. Skin-to-skin does not directly prevent postpartum hemorrhage, though it may support uterine contraction through early breastfeeding.
D. Correct. Skin-to-skin contact enhances maternal-infant bonding, supports breastfeeding by stimulating milk production, and reduces maternal stress by promoting relaxation and oxytocin release.
