MODERATORS
Here (NZ) the generally accepted protocol is immediately after (a natural) birth that the baby is given to the mother for "skin on skin" time. Only broken briefly to weigh and examine baby.
The idea is to keep baby as close to mum as possible. Similar protocol for multiple births is to keep everyone as close as possible.
