Objective: To determine the relevance of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) in breastfeeding support. Materials and methods: An exhaustive review of the literature available in databases such as PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier and Google Scholar was carried out. The methodology included the formulation of questions using PICO in neonates (P): how does CPP (I) compared to separation (C) influence breastfeeding maintenance (O)? We selected studies published between 2019 and 2024 that examined the relationship between CPP and breastfeeding. Results: CPP was observed to facilitate earlier initiation and continued maintenance of breastfeeding, with higher initiation rates in infants who received CPP at birth. In addition, it was shown to be associated with physiological benefits that strengthen emotional bonding and improve newborn health, such as temperature regulation and oxytocin production. Conclusions: CPP is crucial for successful breastfeeding and for fostering strong mother-infant bonding. Promoting this practice from birth is essential to improve maternal and newborn health.
