Had a breech baby so had to have a C-section but we were allowed to have skin to skin in the OR and it was bliss! I’ll never forget meeting my baby and those first few gentle touches.

[Hintedbymarina]

The last point is SO important...eye contact is EVERYTHING!

[mariexline]

Love all of your videos, been in the Birth field for over 14 years, would love to see you do a video on how to support a C-section, mama, and more specifics on bonding, and how to help mama cope when not expecting a scheduled c

I really love that you said the parents job is to offer safety and comfort for them to fall asleep and their job is to use that opportunity or not. This applies to so many things in parenting.

[maddievalerio]

Perfect timing! I’m 40W2D with my first baby ever. ❤

[haley]

Huge emphasis on CONTINUED SKIN -TO-SKIN contact of mother-baby!

[cassandrazepeda]

Thank you so much for your beautiful content!! I've been watching your videos since before I got pregnant and I'm watching this while holding my Newborn after the most magical birth! Thank you for all the incredible info and guidance you share! May you and your family be always blessed 🤍

[CarolinaDuran-bp]

I was thinking on you when I was feeling strong contractions, all your videos give me strength to go through labor and now I'm happy at home with my baby girl, thank you so much for your content and contribution to delivery and parenting❤

[talyacohen]

This video came at the perfect time! Just brought my newborn home after we took the Built to birth course!

[katygogo]

This also plays into the baby having a secure attachment with their parents/caregivers. Great video!

[LigayaL]

I loved watching so many of your videos when I was pregnant for the first time. Would love to see more videos about parenthood

Could you share the data around the concern with electronics and babies? I avoid electronics use around my baby for other reasons but I’d curious to learn more.

Id be interested to see what research you’re referring to with the radiation claims. From my understanding they emit non ionising frequencies… you’d be more at risk from the background radiation which is passing through us all the time. As far as i’m aware there’s absolutely no evidence of these claims … if there is i’d love to see it but so far i’m not seeing any way you could make that claim

Hello. I have given birth via c section 6 weeks ago and unable to breastfeed my baby due to poor milk supply and poor latch. I am pumping little quantity. I have watched your videos and gained lot of knowledge. Please suggest measures for improving breast milk production. Congratulations on arrival of your baby boy.

I hear you about giving food too early, but I think Kids are not all the same in that. My First was an early teether, but was interested in food at the fouth tooth. Our second is a later teether, but stole food from our hands at 4.5moths. And I Had more milk with my second, so She was not starving! She Just wanted to eat solids. We gave only fruit and veg purees at First, but She soon wanted our porridge, and She occasionally got some. Also, She Had (non anaphylactic) cmpa, and for some reason as soon as She started those solids (sweet potatos, carrots, fennel..) her stool got so much healthier. I still breasfed, but She Had lightly Bloody stool every now and again, no matter how well I excluded milk produces/gluten/eggs.

[JustSistersSeekingJoy]

YES YES YES!! so many great take aways and reminders of the wonderful gift we have as parents! Sharing our stories on our channel of triumphs and walking through the hard times has been so rewarding - we are in this together!!!

Thanks for the info! I have a question about the EMF bullet point. Claiming EMF has negative health issues, you recommend replacing a WiFi baby monitor with a closed circuit monitor (your link is to the Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro kit). But looking at that product, it uses a 2.4GHz FHSS wavelength for data transmission, which is the same wavelength used by traditional WiFi (along with 5GHz sometimes). I might not be understanding the point you’re trying to make, so could you share what would be the health benefit for swapping to a closed circuit system?

Also, I’d definitely be interested in reading your source showing EMF is harmful to babies in particular, because I haven’t been able to find anything concrete on the subject yet.

[DrFearCo]

Closed circuit vs wifi shouldn’t make a difference on EMF. Also every home has wifi which is the same thing. Source please on that argument because it sounds made up to me.

[saherkhan]

Thank you. Just delivered a girl last week.

Just wanted to point out that there are lots of videos on youtube debunking the effectiveness of the Aires Tech that you listed in your description. They claim to “harmonize” EMF but it doesn’t do anything to block EMF. I’m not even sure what they mean by harmonize either. I suggest getting faraday fabric to block EMF (like making a sleep sack and hat/beanie) for your baby if you use a wifi camera.
