Breastfeeding

Skin to Skin before BF

Just a quick question that I thought of while reading a "breastfed baby milestones" blog post -

Initial skin to skin contact is encouraged for mom and baby after birth.  If given uninterrupted time, baby may move toward the breast on their own.

My question is - When is the baby weighed in this time frame?  Do they allow skin to skin before weighing and then is the baby taken to be weighed sometime before BFing, or does this happen after the first feeding?
