I had a similar experience in the US with a large private healthcare provider at a large regional hospital. They did some quick health checks but then quickly left the baby with my wife and I for skin-to-skin time. This was planned ahead of time and encouraged by the nurses and doctors.

I’m not sure if it’s become commonplace across the country but our care was impeccable and the nurses and doctors were happy to recommend and support as natural a birth as possible.

I've heard / overheard from multiple women from multiple states that birthing has changed and the baby is put on mom as immediately as possible, to the point it seemed odd from my experience 20 years ago. Doctors in the states have read all this too and things have changed.
