I am a Lactation Consultant and BFHI co-ordinator in a Secondary unit in New Zealand. When a baby is referred to me my plan begins with place the baby skin 2 skin, sometimes you need to actually describe naked mummy and naked baby but many concerns are reduced once they have practised s2s for a large part of their waking hours.

I really think that clothing is the enemy of latch. Skin to skin is not continued very long. It seems we have been successful with The Golden Hour or even two hours, then everyone gets dressed. There is no privacy in hospitals, there are too many services coming and going. Perhaps mothers and babies could be in a 24 hour Topless State with no photo sessions and other unnecessary interruptions during that time. Recovery and Transition are too short.
There is too much physical distance between mother and her baby's body, and too much clothing. Just my opinion.
