Complaints in Cádiz for separating babies born by caesarean section from their mothers

Some time ago, the Perinatal Care Humanization Plan created by the Junta de Andalucía began to be implemented at the Puerta del Mar University Hospital, which includes, among many other things, that the mother and the baby are together at all times, as long as the baby is in perfect condition.

This action is taking place when the births are vaginal, however, when the delivery is by caesarean section, the babies go up to the floor, where it is the parents who take care of them, while the moms stay in the Resuscitation Unit Postsurgical

As the Plan mentioned contemplates that mothers who stop by caesarean section are not separated from their babies Complaints to such actions have not been long in coming.

It is very likely that many readers are thinking at this time that separating babies from mothers who stop by caesarean section has always been done, in fact I saw how my son Jon stayed in a crib only while his mother stayed in Resuscitation Almost two hours.

Now there are hospitals that carry out intermediate protocols, in which mother and baby are separated equally, but this is in the arms of their father, skin with skin and others go even further, such as those that follow the aforementioned Humanization Plan of Perinatal Care, leaving the baby born by caesarean section with his mother at all times.

It is for this reason that the parents, who are seen on the floor with their newborn baby, knowing that according to the protocol they should remain in contact with the mother, are complaining about this fact through complaints made by the Workers Autonomy-SAT Syndicate.

I think it is not necessary to explain now the benefits of skin-to-skin contact as soon as we are born, since we have talked about it on numerous occasions, but in summary, to say that when mother and baby stay together, babies are less stressed, they keep the temperature better, they start breastfeeding before and therefore get a better grip, the mother is calmer because her baby is with her and the bond between them begins to be established immediately, since there is no separation (there are animals that reject their offspring if, after giving birth, they suffer a separation).
