BenefitsofTheThompson Method
The3GoldenHours:A CrucialPeriod
The 3 Golden Hours refer to the crucial period immediately after birth when a mother and her newborn should remain undisturbed in skin-toskin contact. This time is vital for initiating breastfeeding, establishing a strong bond, and reducing the risk of common breastfeeding complications such as nipple trauma, breast engorgement, and mastitis. Routine hospital procedures often disrupt these important hours, but delaying such interventions can significantly improve breastfeeding outcomes.
