Childbirth is a momentous moment for the baby. He passes from intrauterine life to a life outside the womb in which the only thing he recognizes as part of him is his mother's body. So much so, that at nine months after delivery they are known as extrogestation, or pregnancy outside the uterus.
In the moments after delivery, the degree of receptivity of the baby is at its highest levels. A sample of this, and an unforgettable experience if you want to try it, is that if you place it on your abdomen, the newborn will instinctively crawl up to your chest to feed, guided by the smell.
This gesture is known as breastcrawl or crawling to the chest, although in reality it is not a crawling, because the newborn is not yet able to crawl. Both have to be naked, skin with skin and the baby has to be placed face down on top of you, at the height of your abdomen. Guided by instinct, it will begin a tracking movement pushing with his feet and arms until reaching his nipple with his mouth.
