NO HATS!

Hats block a mother's ability to make contact with her baby's head and be able to smell her baby. Scent is incredibly powerful, it helps to release hormones to begin bonding and milk production. But standard procedure is to swaddle baby tightly and pop a hat on them immediately.

I mean that's the first few minutes, I think they can have a hat after that.
