Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will explore the effects of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) between mothers and their babies on the infant intestinal microbiome, the maternal skin microbiome and the breast milk microbiome. This will be accomplished by administering an intervention education session to one group and a placebo education session to the second group in order to influence the magnitude of total SSC defined by the frequency and duration of contact time between the two groups.
