Skin to skin contact is recommended for a mum and her newborn as it promotes oxytocin forming a bond between mum and baby. Dad too, I took my son for a shirtless cuddle when he was minutes old but mums in particular are advised to do so.
What surprises me is this also works for romantic relationships yet I don't hear it stressed to the same degree. My wife and I sleep naked every night and it's magic. It's often the highlight of my day. We have busy lives, our son is almost 2 now and it's a powerful way of maintaining intimacy when there's little time or willingness to do anything more intentional. When I'm asked for advice by young couples it's always my go to. I think it may be even more crucial for older couples who may not feel as connected or anyone going through a rough patch. Touch each other. A lot. Sleeping naked is a wonderful way to achieve it. Our souls communicate things through touch that words can't express.
