From personal experience, I understand the deep, positive impact that skin to skin can have emotionally for both mother and baby but I was still blown away by the evidence in this randomised clinical trial (link below) showing significant and positive effects of early skin-to-skin contact on:
maintenance of infant temperature in the neutral thermal range
infant blood glucose
infant crying
summary scores of maternal affectionate love/touch
breastfeeding at one to three months postbirth
breastfeeding duration
