<unk>  is likely the most widely used term in the United States for skin-to-skin contact. Gene Cranston Anderson may have been the first to coin the term<unk>  in the USA. The defining feature of this is however for skin-to-skin contact, commonly abbreviated as SSC, also STS. This is used synonymously with "skin-to-skin<unk> ". Dr Nils Bergman, one of the founders of the<unk>  Mother<unk>  Movement, argues that since skin-to-skin contact is a place of<unk> , not a kind of<unk>  in itself, skin-to-skin contact should be the preferred term.<unk>  Mother<unk>  is a broader package of<unk>  defined by the World Health Organization.<unk>  Mother<unk>  originally referred only to<unk>  of low birth weight and preterm infants, and is defined as a<unk>  strategy including three main components:<unk>  position,<unk>  nutrition and<unk>  discharge.<unk>  position means direct skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, but can include father, other family member or surrogate. The infant should be upright on the chest, and the airway secured with safe technique. (The term<unk>  Mother<unk>  is commonly used to mean skin-to-skin contact, despite its definition from the WHO as including a broader strategy).<unk>  nutrition implies exclusive breastfeeding, with additional support as required but with the aim of achieving ultimately exclusive breastfeeding.<unk>  discharge requires that the infant is sent home early, meaning as soon as the mother is breastfeeding and able to provide all basic<unk>  herself. In Colombia in 1985 this took place at weights around 1000g, with oxygen cylinders for home use; the reason was that overcrowding in their hospital meant that three babies in an incubator would result in potentially lethal cross-infections. An essential part of this is close follow-up, and access to daily visits.
