I work with women to remind them of their innate power and wisdom. I remind them that all they need to birth their baby is already within them. They just need to surrender and listen.
Why would I want to give birth in a strange institution filled with bustling people reading monitors and twiddling knobs, if I could instead give birth in the comfort, safety and security of my own familiar home?
The first few days after birth are a really important time for breastfeeding. The milk that is produced in these first few days (colostrum) is amazing stuff, packed full of antibodies.
