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.

💥I love the BRAINS acronym. However, I think it is important for parents to not *only* rely on this tool. Yes it is important to ask about benefits and risks when making decisons about healthcare. When it comes to risks parents should be aware of the different types of risks (relative vs. absolute) - not all risks are the same! Understanding how big and small are the risks is also crucial before making an informed decision. Another thing to consider: what does the method or process look like? If a medical intervention is suggsested, it is absolutely essential to understand what is the process or method.

💥Other questions which can help make informed decisions:
💫Describe the suggestion/option. How is it done? How likely are we to find a solution?
💫Are there side effects to the treatment/intervention? Short term? Long term?
💫If the suggestion/intervention is not successful, what are the next options?

💥I also want to mention something about intuition. Intuition is important when making decisions, too. Sometimes, if the moment seems scary or uncertain, following one's inution might be more challenging. This is where getting some privacy (especially if other people are around) and doing Calm Breathing is incredibly helpful. Doing as many Calm Breaths needed to go back to our safe space in our nervous system (Parasympaethetic Sphere) helps us make decisions based on confidence and safety rather than fear.

💥Parents learn all the amazing tools for informed decision making and techniques to regulate their nervous system and foster the mind-body connection in HypnoBirthing classes! Interested in learning more or signing up? Check out our website: sakinahbirth.com. 🌺

🌟As a HypnoBirthing Educator, I would go further and say learning begins before birth thanks to decades of research from scientists and psychologists. I agree with the message here, though.💗
