In honor of International Kangaroo Care Awareness Day, join Marie and special internationally recognized expert Dr. Nils Bergman as they discuss the benefits of kangaroo care, skin-to-skin contact that allows breastfeeding and bonding to begin moments after birth. According to Dr. Nils Bergman (www.ninobirth.org) and others, kangaroo care should be the standard method of care for all newborns--healthy, full-term babies as well as those born prematurely--and infants in the moments after birth and throughout the first months. Listen as Marie and Dr. Bergman discuss the scientific basis for skin-to-skin care (SSC), including the neuroscience of the optimal birth and the basis for supporting the baby-mother dyad in getting off to the best possible start not only in breastfeeding but in their relationship.

Skin-to-Skin for Breastfeeding Win

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.
The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.
