The Benefits of Skin to Skin

Discover our full range of skin to skin tops online now

 

“Skin to skin has important functions for parent and baby throughout baby’s first year and beyond.”The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust

The benefits of skin to skin contact or ‘kangaroo care’ for both mother and baby are very well documented – from regulation of temperature, breathing & heartbeat to increased oxytocin levels & milk production to simple comfort & bonding.

This is what inspired us here at Seraphine to develop this new post-maternity essential.

 

Meet our New Skin to Skin Tops

Seraphine's complete range of Skin to Skin Tops

 

Perfect for receiving visitors at the hospital and the first months at home with baby, the Skin to Skin Top is available in a ¾ sleeve version as well as our 3 new sleeveless styles in black, blue & grey.

After placing the baby inside the top against your skin, long wrap ties cross over & secure the little one in place.

Made in soft stretch cotton, it is gentle on both mum & baby’s skin, while providing the perfect level of structure & support.

This leaves your hands free while sitting – allowing you to enjoy maximum cuddle time without restricting your movements – you could get into a good book, catch up with your emails or it could even be something as simple as enjoying a quick snack & a drink.

The Skin to skin top keeps your hands free while seated, but it is important to note that it is not a baby carrier or sling, so you should always keep hold of baby while standing or moving around.

Join Seraphine Founder Cécile Reinaud & Support NCT’s #HiddenHalf Campaign

Seraphine Founder Cécile Reinaud has spoken out in support of NCT’s #HiddenHalf Campaign, which aims to improve the 6-week postnatal check & get postnatal mental illness out of hiding.

Scroll to the end to see how you can lend your support to this great cause – it only takes a moment!

Cecile Shares Her Struggle with Postnatal Depression

Cécile was unexpectedly blindsided by postnatal depression after the birth of her first son.

Like countless other new mums, she suffered in silence and did not receive the help she needed.

Cécile says: “Postnatal mental illness cannot continue to be a taboo! Let’s talk about it.”

Visit the NCT’s website to find out more about their #HiddenHalf Campaign & the different ways you can get involved.

A post shared by Cecile Reinaud (@cecilereinaud) on


Cecile with her two sons – Lorenz, 15 & Florian, 10

Cécile said: “I have suffered postnatal depression myself, and it was undoubtedly one of the hardest times of my life.”

“In my case, I think if I had received more support, it would have helped me to overcome that condition faster and with less difficulty and it wouldn’t have left such hard scars.”

A post shared by Seraphine Maternity (@seraphinematernity) on

Mental health problems affect at least 1 in 10 women during pregnancy or the first year after birth.

But around half of new mothers’ mental health problems don’t get picked up at all.

NCT are campaigning at the government level to get full funding for the six-week maternal postnatal check so that health professionals have the time to give all new mothers their own appointment, rather than squeezing it in with an examination of their baby.

Pregnant Pippa Middleton’s Top Three Seraphine Maternity Dresses

Expecting her first baby later this year, mum-to-be Pippa Middleton has been styling her bump in some gorgeous Seraphine maternity dresses.

We think perhaps Pippa has been taking recommendations from her sister The Duchess of Cambridge, who relied on Seraphine for maternity fashion throughout all three of her pregnancies.

 

1. The Black Floral Maternity Dress

Get Pippa’s Dress: Black Woven Off the Shoulder Maternity Dress

Back in July at the height of the summer heatwave, Pippa stepped out in our chic little floral number to walk the dogs near her Chelsea home.

Pippa styled the dress (currently on sale for just £39!) with sunnies & espadrilles, adding a pop of colour with a red cross-body bag – we love this look!

 

2. The Printed Maternity Shirt Dress

Earlier in the summer, she looked effortlessly stylish in our woven shirt dress – a brilliantly transitional piece which could be yours for £65.

Pippa styled it with shades, bare legs & pumps in the sun, but it looks just as chic worn with tights & boots when the weather starts to turn.

 

3. The Little White Maternity Dress


Get Pippa’s Dress: White Cotton Embroidered Maternity Sundress

She was also spotted running some errands around London in our white cotton summer dress, which is available to buy for just £55. The cute little dress showed off her tan perfectly!

 

We love Pippa Middleton’s casual chic style and can’t wait to see more of her maternity outfits as we head into the cooler season.
