The immediate skin-to-skin contact brings several advantages to the newborn. Breastfeeding stands out as a benefit of this contact, by making suction efficient and effective; increasing the prevalence and duration of lactation; and influencing in a positive way the mother-child relationship. This research aims to analyze the mothers' perceptions regarding early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding, immediately after delivery, that is, to investigate whether mothers know the possibility of experiencing early skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding their child in the delivery room; to identify if mothers consider it important to carry out this contact and breastfeeding in the first hour of life; and to understand the feelings of the mothers when experiencing skin-to-skin contact and breast-feeding soon after delivery. This is a quantitative-qualitative descriptive field survey, conducted in a public hospital in Minas Gerais, according to Resolution 466/12 CNS / MS, applying a questionnaire to 122 mothers hospitalized in the maternity sector. It was evidenced that 51.6% of the mothers experienced eartly skin-to-skin contact; the majority of the participants (76.2%) already knew that it was possible to experience this contact; 95.9% consider making skin-to-skin contact important; and among the mothers who made this contact, the majority felt happy (69.8%) and emotioned (66.7%). Regarding breastfeeding, only 14.7% of the mothers breastfed their children in the first hour of life; the majority of mothers (59.8%) were unaware of the possibility of breastfeeding the baby immediately after delivery; 83.6% of mothers consider this practice important; 16.4% believe that breastfeeding in the first hour of life is not important; of the total number of mothers who breastfed their baby soon after delivery, 72.2% felt happy and 50% felt emotioned. Therefore, in the institution researched, the practice of breastfeeding in the first hour of life is below of that recommended by WHO. This study aims to contribute to the actions of health professionals who work in the obstetric center, so that they promote humanized care, taking into account the mothers' perceptions and the conditions in which they are found. In addition, it aims to contribute to the reduction of infant mortality, considering that the child breastfed in the first hour of life has a lower risk of developing death in the early neonatal period.
