Breastfeeding : A Guide for The Medical Profession

---

The discovery of the additional significance of mother?s breast and chest to the infant comes from studies of Swedish researchers who have shown that a normal infant, when dried, placed on the mother?s chest, and covered with a light blanket, will warm or maintain body temperature as well as an infant warmed with elaborate, high-tech heating devices. The same researchers found that, when infants are skin-to-skin with their mothers for the first 90 minutes after birth, they hardly cry at all compared with infants who are dried, wrapped in a towel, and placed in a bassinet. In additional, the researchers demonstrated that if a newborn is left quietly on the mother?s abdomen after birth he or she will, after about 30 minutes, gradually crawl up to the mother?s breast, find the nipple, self-attach, and start to suckle on his her own.rnrnrnIt would appear that appear that each of these features-the crawling ability of the infant, the absence of crying when skin-to-skin with the mother, and the warming capabilities of the mother?s chest-evolved genetically more than 400,000 years ago to help preserve the infant?s life.rn
