Today we bring you a video that shows us in a resounding way the link established between the baby and his mother already from the womb. After a caesarean section, the medical staff wants to take the baby to do some exploration, clean it ... but he "clings" to his mother.
It seems to distinguish her smell, she certainly recognizes her voice (the mother speaks to her although she looks very weak, can't even touch the little one) and that calms the little one. He seems to want to kiss mom on the face, when what he is probably doing is showing his sucking reflex.
The little boy cries every time he wants to be separated from mom's face, and they let him be quiet for a few more seconds, until finally, when he seems to be calmer, take him away, although he cries again. And it is logical: he does not like that separation or move away from that soothing heat, that smell and that familiar voice.
A small newborn that shows so much life from the first minute, it's exciting. It is a pity that the baby is not allowed to be in skin-to-skin contact with the mother, since many benefits are lost.
Even after a C-section, skin-to-mother-baby skin contact is recommended and possible, so we expect it to be within a few minutes when the baby is "returned" to the mother.
If in those moments of alertness the baby could have been left with mom, surely those "kisses" would have found the breast and the breastfeeding had begun, establishing the bases for a happy breastfeeding (which does not mean that it did not end up happening so, we hope so).
Anyway, the newborn baby who doesn't want to separate from his mom We found it exciting, it has also brought me many memories and we hope you like it.
