Abstract

Objectives: To determine the association between the duration of skin to skin contact (SSC), early breastfeeding and their impact with the newborn feeding behavior.

Methods: We conducted a prospective and analytic study that included 72 newborns who had SSC. Early breastfeeding and eating behavior were evaluated based on the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) at 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours of life. Results: SSC after delivery had an average duration of 17.85 minutes, most were less than 30 minutes (86.11%); 77.78% newborns had early breastfeeding. SSC was associated with states of wakefulness at 12 hours of birth (p=0.002), sucking at 4h (p=0.007) and 24 hours (p=0.004). SSC has correlation with states of wakefulness at 2 hours (p=0.035) and feeding behavior at 24 hours: states of wakefulness (p=0.007), rooting (p=0.001) and sucking (p=0.0001). Early breastfeeding had no association to states of wakefulness, rooting or sucking at 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours.

Conclusions: SSC significantly affects states of wakefulness at 2 hours from birth, sucking at 4 and 24 hours; feeding behavior at 24 hours. Early breastfeeding does not significantly influence feeding behavior at 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours.
