Summary

Breastfeeding plays a fundamental role in the health of girls and boys by providing adequate nutrition, promoting development and mainly preventing diseases. Different maternal factors such as education or obesity and perinatal factors such as the route of birth or skin-to-skin contact, among many others, can influence its onset, proper establishment and duration. Caesarean section and instrumental delivery are directly related to a delay in the early initiation of breastfeeding in newborns. In Mexico, the rate of caesarean sections is well above that recommended by the World Health Organization, in addition to being a country with very low rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months of age of the newborn without having achieved the proposed objectives to improve it in recent years.

Newborns who experience skin-to-skin contact with their mother develop behaviors such as crawling to the breast and more effective suckling with greater lactogenesis by the mother. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines skin-to-skin contact (SSC) as "direct, immediate and uninterrupted contact of the infant with the mother's skin" and promotes it because it is important for establishment of breastfeeding, neonatal and child survival and development. It has been seen that the ideal time to start this CPP is within the first 30 minutes of life of the newborn in any birth route, so it has been recommended that it be started in the recovery room or even in the operating room during birth by caesarean section in order to make a mark in the programming of the future physiology and behavior of the dyad.

The foregoing leads us to ask ourselves the following research questions: Can we in our public hospitals in Mexico carry out the CPP procedure between mother and baby during cesarean births? And if so, will there be a difference in breastfeeding by Mexican women, performing skin-to-skin contact immediately even in the operating room between mother and baby in cesarean births versus if it is carried out after the surgical procedure?
