7 Huge Benefits of An Undisturbed First Hour After Birth
by Sam McCulloch Dip CBEd
July 22, 2022
"What Is An Undisturbed First Hour?
Babies are born and immediately placed tummy down on their mother’s stomach. A warm blanket should be placed over both mother and baby, to keep mother warm. This slows the production of adrenaline hormone in her so as to not interfere with oxytocin and prolactin hormones being produced (essential for bonding and breastfeeding).
At this time, the mother’s needs are simple: warmth and a quiet, calm environment. It is important to remember that she is still in labour – the placenta and membranes are still to be birthed, and her uterus needs to contract down.
Here are 7 important reasons why the first hour after birth should be undisturbed:"
#1: Baby-Led Initiation of Breastfeeding
#2: Body System Regulation
#3: Promotes Delayed Cord Clamping
#4: Promotes Mother-Baby Attachment
#5: Improves Breastfeeding Success Rates
#6: Protects Against The Effects of Separation
#7: Boost Your Baby’s Immunity Naturally

Breastfeeding support is good for business: higher employee retention rates, lower insurance premiums, & less sick days for parents.
How did your workplace support you? How could they have better supported you while breastfeeding?
