Abstract
The fortnight of skin-to-skin holding was a great event held together with the formal launch of the Integrated Family Delivered Care (IFDC) project; emphasising the importance of staff supporting parents to be part of their babies' care and the vital benefits that closeness of skin-to-skin care brings to their baby. Our aim was to showcase this event in order to reinforce skin-to-skin practice within our neonatal service with customised supporting material designed for this purpose. Supporting skin-to-skin holding is often the first step on the road to family integrated care.
