Abstract
Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is a simple intervention that has been practiced for noncomplicated vaginal birth over the decades. Evidence showed that an increased breastfeeding rate is one of the benefits for mothers and babies. Although caesarean section (CS) has increased globally, many mothers and babies have not experienced SSC after caesarean delivery. Therefore, hospitals around the globe have implemented similar projects to enhance the practice of SSC after CS. This literature review will investigate the significance of SSC after CS to breastfeeding rate and the results of SSC implementation in the theatre.
