6. Keep mother and baby together – it’s best for mother, baby, and breastfeeding – lead author Jeannette Crenshaw, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, IBCLC, LCCE, FACCE
This is so important. Hypnobabies talks about birthing stage 2.5, the time right after the baby is born is the ideal time for baby to be with mom. Keeping baby with mom helps both of them adjust to this new situation. We even teach moms to make a Baby Plan after explaining the routine things done to babies and the pros and cons. Mom and Dad can choose what they want for THEIR baby.
Needless to say I don’t share a lot about my pregnancy with people after remarks like that. And my poor husband wonders why I’m paranoid.
