Perfection 💜

The Intact Birth
Two hours after birth this happy thumbsucker has been fed, held by her mother and she is ready for an exam in the presence of her family. As she is the third baby, the father has asked the grandmother to cut the cord before the midwife checks and weighs her.

An Intact(placenta) Birth is about using common sense and a compassionate approach to childbirth - the separation of the placenta from the baby should not be hurried and thoughtlessly performed. Immediate cord clamping is unnatural, and even more harmful when the cord is still pulsating. There are no clamps or scissors in nature. We know that waiting to cut the cord restores the baby's blood back to her from her placenta, promotes crucial bonding (keeps a mother and her baby close together), and faciliates microbiome colonization by the mother. As research advances, the reasons to have an Intact Birth becomes more imperative. The baby's blood and cord is rich with stem cells.

Even before much evidence emerged about the importance of the baby receiving all her blood, there was never a really good reason for premature clamping and cutting. Separation should be the exception rather than the rule. Even in emergency cases where babies need help, keeping the cord intact until it has stopped pulsating #waitforwhite is best thing you can do for your baby.

Love this!
Visiting a home with a breastfed baby in it? Expect to see breasts.This news just in - when you visit breastfed baby, you are likely to see a little bit of breast. 😱

Tips for how to react when confronted with a tiny bit of breast (which you can see because the breast is where the milk is and the milk is what the baby drinks.)🤔

1 - Keep talking to mum as before.

2 - Do not leave the room unless asked, do not ask mum to leave the room.

3 - Tell mum she is doing brilliantly and you are proud of her.

4 - If mum is struggling, get her good face to face support. A bottle is not face to face breastfeeding support.

5 - Bring food. Bring drinks. Make the food. Pour the drinks.💕

6 - If the baby cries, give the baby to mum. Do not attempt to walk around shushing, patting saying it worked for your baby. This baby wants mum.

*Remember - visiting a breastfed baby may result in exposure to breasts, oxytocin, melatonin and all round feel good hormones* ... See MoreSee Less
