Skin-to-skin is totally BS nonsense. It was found to be beneficial for premature infants who need help regulating body temperature in low resource settings (where incubators are not available).

It looks like your links are talking about the first few hours or days while still in the hospital. I'm talking about skin to skin over the next many months.
