How to fill out skintoskin contact and perinatal:

1. Ensure that both the caregiver and the infant are in a comfortable position. This could be lying down or sitting with proper back support.
2. Gently undress the infant, leaving only their diaper on. Make sure to remove any clothing that may interfere with direct skin-to-skin contact.
3. Position the infant on the caregiver's bare chest, ensuring that their entire front side is in contact with the caregiver's skin. The caregiver's chest should be exposed for maximum contact.
4. Use a blanket or a towel to cover the infant's back. This helps to maintain their body temperature and provides a sense of security.
