More Information: Birth Works International
Advanced training for those working directly with mom-baby dyads, including birth and postpartum doulas, midwives, nurses, pediatricians, Ob/Gyns, Neonatologists, Childbirth Educators and Kangaroulas. Be empowered to support healthy full-term babies as well as premature, late-preterm infants (32-37 weeks), high-risk dyads, belly birth (cesarean) and those with maternal complications.
​
Breastfeeding optimizes significant neurodevelopment and all babies’ health depends on skin-to-skin contact. It enhances the mother-baby bond and provides the best, personalized nutrition. Ideal breastfeeding starts the first minutes and hours of a baby’s life with a great latch and ongoing support for mom. Deeply critical, essential brain and nervous system development benefits are lost if breastfeeding does not happen. Research shows the first 1-2 hours matter most, and the first 3-5 days dictate the success and length of the breastfeeding journey!
