I did skin to skin with my daughter pretty much the whole time we were in the hospital.  After we got home I did it when she breastfed.  It was really cool to see her react to my skin. I loved the experience and plan on doing with baby #2.

I live in KY and they call it kangaroo time in the hospitals. All moms Must spend an hour after baby is checked & clean unless you refuse. It Brings up body temp and helps bonding.
