YIKES they don't even see the baby for four hours? I work at a baby friendly hospital so we are big on skin to skin but we don't do it in the OR mostly b/c of the low temps. But baby stays with mom in OR until shortly before transfer to RR. Then mom in is RR for about a half hour (if no complications) while baby goes to nursery for shots, etc. Then both are reunited and skin to skin/breastfeeding is encouraged. Total time apart is ideally a half hour.
