Your Amazing Newborn

While it has become common knowledge that a mother’s well-being and level of stress in pregnancy affects her baby’s development, many people still question the idea that the same is true with birth.  Recently, negative media images have even tried to portray a woman seeking a natural birth experience as being “vain” or “trendy”. However, parents who seek an unmedicated and low intervention birth know the value and impact it can have on their baby.

Heart brain connection

One of the most profound reasons to wear your baby is the heart-brain connection. It can be a firm foundation for the healthy development of the bodily senses, such as touch, movement and balance. Research has shown that the infant must have continued reinforcement of its own heart from the mother's heart.
