Breast Feeding
Breast milk is nutritionally ideal for babies. Breastfeeding is the most natural source of nourishment for babies. Mother's milk will supply all the nutritional needs for her baby for the first 6 months after birth. Breastfeeding has been proven to be far superior to any other type of nourishment for infants. Breast milk changes as the baby grows. As the baby grows and nutritional needs change, the milk also changes to meet those needs.
Water Birth
One of the best natural pain relievers is water. Water has many therapeutic effects. It helps women to relax, which has been shown to help decrease the pain of childbirth. Water is a natural epidural, without any side effects! It is soothing and comforting during labor.
Nutrition
Nutrition is the most important factor in determining the outcome of a pregnancy. Proper nutrition helps protect the mother from toxemia because it allows the blood to expand in volume adequately. It provides maximum reserves for labor and delivery. The relationship between maternal and fetal well-being and maternal nutrition has proven to be significant.
