When we hold onto anger and feel unable to forgive - the truth is that we are only harming ourselves. We tell ourselves a story about why we have every right to feel that emotion. But, if we tell ourselves that story for too long, it is us who has to deal with the consequences.

Need to soothe a fussy baby? This mom knows an important secret: skin to skin contact.

Watch what happens when mom snuggles up with Baby, bringing their faces into contact.

Skin to skin has a number of benefits, not least of which is the release of oxytocin, sometimes known as a the “love” or “cuddle hormone.”

What you’re seeing here is only a glimpse of its power, especially with newborns. In most delivery rooms, skin to skin contact is part of the standard birthing process in the minutes and hours immediately after birth - when the unclothed baby is placed directly on mom and/or dad’s bare chest.

It helps to promote bonding, regulate breathing, and creates warmth and a feeling of security.

The skin to skin practice known as “kangaroo care” has also been shown to produce strong positive effects in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) producing better movements, improved sleep and earlier hospital discharges for premature babies.

Next time your baby needs comfort, try getting a little closer. You might be surprised by the result.
