🫂 Dad skin-to-skin and your complementary role to mum

Your complementary role

1. 1. What to prepare

   For skin-to-skin, remain awake, support baby upright with face visible and airway clear, and monitor comfort.

2. 2. What to check

   Transfer baby to a flat clear cot before becoming sleepy. Do not imply a father’s role is biologically fixed or merely secondary to another parent.
