They  even talked about the interactions of newborns with the bacteria in 
the  vaginal canal >>>
 
There has been some research about this some years ago, ...I remember after 
 reading about it I started telling my childbirth education couples about 
the  research and what it came down to was that if they had a C/S, and there 
were no  other complicating (ie:infectious) issues, they really should try 
to  make sure that some vaginal fluids got to the baby's face and hands, " as 
soon  as possible after the C/S, like in the pacu or soon afterwards, reach 
down  between your legs with your clean hand or your partner's clean hand 
and scoop up  some vaginal fluid and rub some on baby's face and 
hands"...that woke them  up!
 
It's been many years since I've taught CBE classes, so, the research or  
article would not be recent.
