The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Hugging your Children My most effective parenting technique, and I was not a hugger before being a mom. In one of my children I can literally feel negative emotion leave her body when I hold her, no talking. Ever since she was a toddler (13 now)

I'm sure you've got someone talking about this, but skin-on-skin contact right after birth is huge. For my 2nd and 3rd kid, b/c it was a C-section, they had me take off my shirt in the delivery room so I could hold them against my chest immediately after delivery

Great for the baby - but also sitting in the delivery room and holding my kids to my chest are collectively the greatest experience of my life.
