A mother providing<unk>  immediately following birth<unk>  also called skin-to-skin contact (SSC), is a technique of newborn<unk>  where babies are kept chest-to-chest and skin-to-skin with a parent, typically their mother (occasionally their father).<unk> , named for the similarity to how certain marsupials carry their young, was initially developed in the 1970s to<unk>  for preterm infants in countries where incubators were either unavailable or unreliable. More recently, the term skin-to-skin<unk>  is also used to describe the technique of placing full-term newborns immediately after birth on the bare chest of their mother or father. There is evidence that it is effective in reducing infant mortality, the risk of hospital-acquired infection, increasing weight gain, increasing rates of breastfeeding, and other advantages for both mother and baby.
