Baby's
Perspective
What is it like for a little
one to experience birth -- to move from mother's womb into the air and
into gravity?
What is it like when you move
house or start a new job? Imagine what a bigger change it was when
YOU were born and took
your first breath!
There are ways we can help
babies make an easier transition.
A bonus benefit of an easier
birth for baby
is an easier birth for mother!
