what are your plans for when baby is born?

a few weeks ago my husband and i took the tour at our hospital and the nurse explained to us the two options for right after he is born. they can either take him and clean him up and then give him to me, or set him on me for skin on skin right after he comes out and clean him while he is on me.

 i would love to do the skin on skin right after and start breast feeding, but i want my Hubby to be involved more and be able to hold him before i start breast feeding him. what have you done/ are planning on doing?

Re: what are your plans for when baby is born?

  • We will likely do skin-to-skin right away (assuming no complications), then when we're ready, let the nurses take her for cleaning etc. I'm not going to plan on a specific timeframe, we will just play it by ear.

  • We are doing skin to skin right away.  DH wants to be really involved after the birth, our hospital is very big on mom and baby skin to skin right away.  We plan to have DH do skin to skin with LO at some point during our private family time.

  • I did skin to skin for a bit while they sewed me up. Then the nurse took her for a few minutes to the other side the room. DH carried her back and I nursed. Then an hour later they came to clean her up- bath, wash hair and swaddle her.

  • Our plan is skintoskin right away also. They have told me they will give her a little wipe down while with me. MH wants to be involved as well and he really would rather be the one to place her there on my chest. Something I just need to talk to my doctor

  • Skin to skin right away hopefully. My daughter passed meconium so they had to clean her up and check her first and I was bummed that we didn't get the immediate skin to skin that I had planned on.

  • My hospital cleans the baby then puts them on the mother with a warm blanket over the for skin to skin time for awhile. As a FTM I didn't know about this but I think it's a great idea. The hospital automatically does this as their routine.
  • Immediate skin to skin. With both DSs, I did the same, but honestly they didn't show any interest in nursing for at least an hour, so we did the skin to skin, DH got to hold them, they cleaned him up and back to skin to skin and then we nursed.

  • DS was put on my belly immediately. That much I remember.  They rubbed him for a while and then DS cut the cord (he says, I don't remember). Then they weighed him and did his apgars in front of me and handed him back to me to try nursing.  I thi

  • Skin to skin immediately and BF right away. The nurses took DS for 2 mins to be weighed and he never left my arms after that. DS pooped all over me immediately and the nurses cleaned us both up with him laying on my tummy. I don't remember when he had his
  • My hospital does skin to skin right away unless baby is in distress. H is still planning on cutting the cord!
  • Skin to skin right away. This is why we did with DD and MH was right there holding her little hands with us. Skin to skin and immediately attempting to BF are very important to me.
