We had 2 children within the last 5 years, both born at Stanford, Palo Alto, and both were immediately put skin to skin after birth, so I don't think it's unique to Denmark.
- cultofmetatron 5y agoPalo alto is not typical of America. Its one of the richest places in the country for one along with having a high percentage of liberal/educated people. IN America you have to be upper middle class at minimum to have the same standard of living as the bottom tier in Scandinavian countries.

- jac241 5y agoI live in the Midwest. Skin-to-skin is the standard of care. It is not just the coasts that do these things.
- durandal1 5y agoThanks for educating me about Scandinavia, I only lived in Sweden for 30 years :) With regards to standard of living, I disagree that you have to be upper class to maintain a typical Swedish standard of living. If you derive "upper class" from the national median salary then yes, but that would put a lot of the California working class in the "upper class" bound as well.
