- Do you know what Golden Hour is ?
Have you ever heard about “golden hour”? Maybe not in English, but translated, the term means “golden hour” and represents the mother's first hour with her newborn after nine months of expectation. Golden hour is one of the most awaited moments between mother and baby and best of all, it is very important throughout life.
Contact with the mother in the comfort of her arms, feeling her smell and her heartbeat, help the baby in this transition from the womb to the outside world, as they are configured as such different environments. Having your baby in your arms is one of the most anticipated moments postpartum. Feeling the touch, the smell and establishing the first physical contact after months of waiting is synonymous with recognition, warmth and security. At this time, the mother's body goes through changes, including hormonal changes, and the so-called maternal instinct of caring, protecting and nurturing is awakened. The bond is established through touch and affection. Therefore, healthy babies are placed on their mother's breast after birth.
One of the main characteristics of golden hour is breastfeeding in the first hour of life. Colostrum, the yellowish liquid that comes before milk, is very rich in antibodies and nutrients. At this moment, the baby is alert and has heightened sucking stimuli, creating the perfect moment for him to meet his mother and create his first bond with her through breastfeeding.
After this first feeding, the baby usually goes into a deep sleep that can last 8 to 12 hours. And don't forget, the World Health Organization (WHO) advises that breastfeeding should occur exclusively from that moment until the sixth month.
