The Golden Hour: Why the First Hour After Birth is So Important

The "Golden Hour" refers to the precious first hour after birth, a crucial time for both you and your newborn. During this time, your baby is alert and ready to bond, making it the perfect moment for skin-to-skin contact and initiating breastfeeding. The benefits are immense, from regulating your baby’s body temperature to promoting healthy brain development. For you, it’s a time to begin forming a deep connection with your little one, setting the stage for a lifetime of love and trust. This sacred hour is not just for baby—it’s an essential bonding experience for both parents to embrace.
