Does anyone have any sound research on fathers providing skin to skin in
relation to breastfeeding. Although I can find the research showing effects
on thermoregulation, heart and resps, the institution feel they can only
recommend it as part of the baby friendly drive if it is directly effective
on breastfeeding. They want research that directly links fathers skin to
skin contact in the absence of mothers e.g. if not well enough, on
establishment or continuation of breastfeeding!!
Thank you
