Introduction: After delivery, the newborn can become alert and tranquil, interact with his/her mother, rest on her abdomen, move towards her breasts, and spontaneously initiate breastfeeding. Objective: To identify advantages and disadvantages of performing the skin to skin contact at the delivery room. Material and methods: A search in diverse databases was performed on research articles published between 2009 and 2014, identifying 40 which then were analyzed according to skin to skin contact advantages and disadvantages. Results: Benefits found were a longer breastfeeding, a humanized delivery, a decrease in post-partum depression, and a better thermoregulation. Among disadvantages were the neonatal apparently lethal episodes in which the newborn ceased to breath. Conclusions: More advantages than disadvantages were observed while implementing this technique. Moreover, all articles make references to the importance of performing and adequate assessment, and determine if the newborn is in conditions to be reanimated on his/her mother´s abdomen.
