Once born babies should have immediate skin-to-skin contact or at a minimum within the first hour of birth, even if born via C-section, unless there is a medical indication not to. Developing this microbiome, in conjunction with the environment the baby will be raised in, will help protect them against the bacteria/infections they are most likely to encounter through their life. Understanding your baby's skin flora and microbiome and how to look after it helps to give them and their skin the best start in life.

Skin-to-skin contact is when your skin and your baby’s skin are in direct contact. Skin-to-skin contact benefits both you and your baby, not just following the birth, but for weeks and months afterwards by:
• Promoting bonding and communication between you and your baby
• Regulating your baby’s temperature. Think of it like a thermostat – neither too hot nor too cold.
• Baby picks up your healthy skin flora to populate their own skin with good bacteria, which then helps to develop their gut microbiome
• Helps to calm and settle baby
For the first few days after birth, it is recommended that you only do minimal cleansing of the face and bottom area. (top and tail). This encourages friendly skin flora which in turn helps to develop the baby’s gut.
In the first few weeks, only bath with baby body wash when visibly dirty as this helps to protect skin flora and reduce drying their skin. After a bath, you can put baby in skin-to-skin with you or your partner for a few minutes to help re-establish baby’s healthy skin flora, then use the moisturiser on baby to help maintain skin hydration.
