This study aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the effects of SSC on BF. These findings suggest that immediate or early SSC in caesarean births reduces the time to the first breastfeeding attachment and increases EBF rates in the first 2 h of life, as well as EBF rates at discharge. The association between SSC and BF has been widely studied in vaginal births and the evidence suggests that SSC must be implemented as soon as possible after birth to promote BF (Moore et al., 2016).
