Interventions
Immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth (intervention group)
Immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth: If the newborn requires no intervention, they will be immediately placed on the mother's chest (before cord clamping) and skin-to-skin contact will begin. Skin-to-skin contact will be maintained for approximately 60 minutes until the first breastfeeding occurs. All routine procedures performed in the delivery room for the newborn (except for weight measurement) will be performed while the newborn is on the mother's chest.
