No sometimes I still do it with my one year old. She likes to sleep belly to belly a lot

I was reading about it I didn't want to seem like a weirdo all they really say about skin to skin is when they are first born

No that's awesome! Babies need skin to skin time, especially if you aren't nursing (nursing sorry of necessitates it). You're helping baby's cognitive development!

Nope I did skin to skin for months. I didn't breast feed my first and if I was home I'd bottle feed him topless and after his umbilical cord came off I showered with him and took baths with him not all the time but like once or twice a week for months.
