Well, this is more like Skin-to-Skin Plus.

If you are an ILCA member, you can download and use, *for free*, a 
ready-to-use PowerPoint presentation called "Clinical Guidelines for the 
Establishment of Exclusive Breastfeeding."  It is based upon the 2005 
document by the same name, altho the PowerPoint is only about a month old.

Downloading (*for free*) the Guidelines publication from the ILCA website 
will also give you all the evidence (references and study cites) for the 
recommendations offered, including "#1:  Faciliate breastfeeding within the 
first hour after birth and provide for continuous skin-to-skin contact 
between mother and infant until afer the first feeding."

Now, those two freebies alone are worth the price of an ILCA membership, 
don't you agree?  So join at www.ilca.org when you are over there 
downloading your free printed copy of the Clinical Guidelines (click on 
"Resource Room" on the home page).
