Reasons to focus on natural childbirth!,
By Anne McSween,MD, IBCLC, RLC (Sherbrooke, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Impact of Birthing, Practices on Breastfeeding: Protecting the Mother and Baby Continuum (Paperback)
Finally someone dares to declare that having a medicalized birth is not the norm, just as bottlefeeding isn't the norm... I'm a family physician with a breastfeeding clinic since 1996, and I had begun noticing notable differences in the types of lactation problems between the midwife-assisted births and the gynecologist-assisted ones. Unfortunately, women are not aware of this and they themselves request epidurals for pain-free births. Little do they know that they are harvesting a multitude of related post-partum & breastfeeding problems, for themselves AND baby. Once this is explained to them, they often realise the connections and wish they had known... This is a book every practitioner doing deliveries should read. We really ought to assist laboring women with non-pharmacological pain-relieving techniques, not just medications.

This review is from: Impact of Birthing, Practices on Breastfeeding: Protecting the Mother and Baby Continuum (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for lactation care providers and childbirth educators. It explains how each birth intervention (epidural, c-section, IV drugs, episiotomies, etc) affect breastfeeding.
