Sling helps C-Section moms bond and breastfeed better
NCT ID NCT06502860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special sling helps mothers who had a C-section do more skin-to-skin contact with their newborns. 78 first-time mothers were split into two groups: one used the sling, the other did standard skin-to-skin care. Researchers measured how long the contact lasted, how well breastfeeding went, and the baby's weight loss. The goal was to see if the sling makes it easier for C-section moms to get the benefits of skin-to-skin contact.
