Hi Anne,

Try Melissa (NUM) Redlands Hosp. 
They were promoting this last year so hopefully are still doing so now. Cheers

Yes!  We have introduced this new protocol for all elective LUSCS (not
emergency ones yet - recovery staff think that if it's an emergency,
then the baby shouldn't be in recovery, it should be in SCN).

We have allocated LUSCS days and the Lactation Consultant is called by
the Midwife in OT when the mum is being sutured.  Baby is put into bed
with mum as she is being wheeled into recovery.  LC meets mum and
Midwife in recovery and assists with the first breastfeed. 
Unfortunately baby is wrapped straight away and given to dad in the OT,
and dad and mum both cuddle baby while midwife and paed finish
paperwork, check placenta, etc.  It's more cheek to cheek in OT, but
skin to skin in recovery.

Don't have a copy of policy as I'm on Maternity leave atm, sorry.

  The book's full details are: 'Kangaroo care, the 
  best you can do to help your preterm infant', Susan M. Ludington-Hoe (with 
  Susan K. Golant),Bantam Books,1993. Great book not just for lay 
  people:)

  Ashley Montagu's Touching -- the Human 
  Significance of Skin. Shows up in second hand bookshops, libraries etc. I 
  don't know how much there is on your topic. I've warmed a baby in the 
  dead of winter (I arrived a little after the birth) and it was so cold, 
  the mother was exhausted. I'm blessed with a G-cup. Tucked bub under the 
  breast...warm as toast!
   
  Loved that skin to skin contact with my own 
  babes. Excellent bonding. 
   
  Not very scientific, but valid to 
  me.
   
  I wish you success,
