Prenatal bonding can improve parents’ caring behavior for their babies, and increase postpartum attachment. With stronger attachment, parents give more time in face-to-face eye contact with baby. Together we can help nurture an entire generation of parents with more intact attachment to their infants. Prenatal Bonding Recommendations It’s interesting to me to read recommendations for […]

Asynclitism and the Doula Scope of Practice

Asynclitism
