Babies need to eat shortly after birth. Most are able to latch on and breastfeed within the first 30-60 minutes after birth. Especially if labor has been low-intervention, babies don’t need much or any help latching on and breastfeeding. They have incredible instincts, and know just what to do.

During the first few hours of life, babies go through 9 distinct stages of activity/behavior, beginning with the “birth cry” followed by a rest period and ending with sleep.

Look up the “9 instinctive stages and the “breast crawl” if you want to learn more!

Thinking about your birth options? Here's why midwifery care might be right for you:

Midwives provide personalized, holistic care that supports your body's natural abilities. Research consistently shows that midwife-led care offers excellent outcomes for healthy pregnancies:

✨ Fewer interventions, same safety – Studies show midwife-led care results in fewer epidurals, episiotomies, and instrumental births, with no difference in overall safety for mom or baby.

✨ Higher satisfaction – Women receiving midwifery care report greater satisfaction with their birth experience and feel more in control during labor.

✨ Better breastfeeding outcomes – Midwife-led continuity of care is associated with increased likelihood of successful breastfeeding.

Midwives don't just catch babies – they partner with you throughout your journey, providing evidence-based care, education, and emotional support every step of the way.

When babies are born, their senses are flooded with sound, light, and touch that they've never experienced before. What's familiar? The mother's heartbeat, her scent, her voice...and other familiar voices.

Being skin to skin helps a baby to regulate it's temperature and heartbeat. Moms of twins can help each twin to regulate their optimal temperature simultaneously- how amazing is that?

Skin to skin contact helps mom and baby both release oxytocin which decreases stress, pain/discomfort, and inflammation! They both need each other after birth!

Skin to skin fosters a strong emotional bond...babies love skin to skin time with their dads, too.

The first hour after a baby is born has been called the golden hour - a time when babies should be with their mothers, skin to skin, undisturbed, as they rest and bond and eat. But the beauty of the golden hour can and should continue through the first months of life...
