Those first moments after birth are incredibly special. It’s a time for baby to settle onto mom’s chest, for everyone to take a deep breath, and for that first bond to begin. 🤍
At Blossom, we intentionally protect this time. We prioritize immediate skin-to-skin contact and allow families to have uninterrupted moments together while baby adjusts to life outside the womb.
Only after baby has had time to rest with mom and begin that connection do we perform the newborn exam. And even then, it all happens right at mom’s side. Baby never needs to leave.
During the exam, our midwives gently check baby from head to toe, listening to the heart and lungs, checking reflexes, measuring vitals, and making sure everything looks healthy and strong.
It’s a calm, careful process designed to support both safety and bonding. Because those first moments together matter more than anything. 💛
