I can tell you why they were trying to give baby to mom at least. Protocol is baby goes to mom immediately while she recovers, then the baby goes to dad while they check mom. Unless there's a medical emergency that requires immediate care to either mom or baby (like my son's birth where my partner had some blood loss from a torn uterus). They were basically defaulting to their standard pattern and either didnt hear or didnt understand your mom (or were just bad nurses, they do exist).

I was told skin to skin contact between baby and mother immediately post partum is linked to better health outcomes for mother and baby.

Don’t think that’s true lol. When I was born I was taken immediately and put into a tube with oxygen so my body could harden and so were my brothers kids. Guess it just depends on the circumstances or location.
