How does skin-to-skin contact between the baby and mum affect latching?

Hi Sarah! Great question. Skin-to-skin is so helpful on multiple levels for both mum and bub. In the aspect of latching, skin-to-skin induces the release of oxytocin, a hormone which helps greatly with milk flow. This will enable the milk that is already in the breast to flow out more easily, also known as the Milk Ejection Reflex, or more commonly known as "milk letdown". While it may not necessarily mean your baby may get the "right" latch, but it does mean that your breast milk is more easily available for your baby during a feeding session, encouraging him or her to be on the breast more, which then leads to greater milk production as well. Hope this helps!
