In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the decisions I made for my baby’s birth and immediate postpartum care—decisions that go against the grain of conventional hospital practices. From opting out of the vitamin K injection and declining the Hep B vaccine at birth, to choosing delayed cord clamping and planning a peaceful home birth, I’ll share the research, intuition, and values that led me down this path. I’ll also talk about how the Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care deeply influenced my approach, and why trusting my body and baby felt more aligned than ever before. Whether you're curious, planning your own birth, or simply want to hear a different perspective—this episode is for you.
