Summary
This study looked at whether holding a baby skin-to-skin or cheek-to-cheek can help control pain during and after episiotomy repair (stitches after birth). 155 healthy new mothers were randomly assigned to skin-to-skin contact, cheek contact, or standard care. Results showed that both types of contact may reduce pain and improve breastfeeding, offering a simple, drug-free way to support mothers after delivery.
