The 2025 Cochrane review on immediate and early skin-to-skin contact after birth highlights that further randomized controlled trials comparing skin-to-skin contact with ‘usual care’ are no longer ethical.

The findings show there is now enough evidence to make immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth the global standard of care, and as WHO already recommends skin-to-skin the standard of care, the authors argue that randomizing the separation of mother and newborn may no longer be justifiable.

Join us for history, folklore and storytelling discussing Black Midwifery and Missouri Midwife Mariah Watkins. We'll gather on a cozy Autumn morning in the reading room, on Saturday October 25, 2025-9:30am, at the Missouri Historical Society Library & Research Institute at 225 S. Skinker Blvd., St. Louis, MO, in celebration of Community Midwife Month, honored in St. Louis, every October.

Event Details

"Midwife and folklorist Okunsola M. Amadou explores the deep roots of midwifery in American culture with a spotlight on Mariah Watkins. Born into slavery in North Carolina and freed at the end of the Civil War, Watkins settled in Neosho, Missouri, in the 1870s after being married in St. Louis. She is remembered today as a prominent member of the Neosho community, delivering babies for almost 40 years and influencing the work of one of Missouri's greatest scientists-George Washington Carver."
