    In a meta-analysis of randomized trials, fathers giving paternal skin-to-skin care had no significant difference in salivary oxytocin levels compared with maternal skin-to-skin care.

    In plain wordsIn fathers, the body's own salivary oxytocin during skin-to-skin care did not differ significantly from that found with maternal care.
