Isn't this a stunning photograph? Shared from Jana S

These beautiful words and incredible moment captured by
had me in tears - "the timing was perfect" ♥️😭♥️

How often have we done this in our lives - things aren't happening fast enough for us, and it's only looking back on things that we can see clearly that the timing was indeed perfect. Perspective is so important for peace of mind ♥️

Reposted from This mama labored beautifully all through the night, yet was a little frustrated with her progress. Why is it taking so long? What can I do to speed this up? The age old questions. But then the sun rose, and big sister rose with it. She awoke to her mom laboring in the tub, squealed, and quickly ran back to her room to get her bathing suit on. She got in the tub and within minutes it was time, and the answer was clear. It didn’t take too long, the timing was perfect. These sisters were just waiting for each other. And a few minutes later baby girl was born right into her big sisters hands (with a little help from dad 😉)

is a term first used by social anthropologist, and mother/baby advocate, Sheila Kitzinger, in her 1994 book, 'The Year After Childbirth: Surviving and Enjoying the First Year of Motherhood.' [http://astore.amazon.com/peacefparent-20/detail/0684196158] It refers to the postpartum bonding period between parents and their new baby, and is especially crucial for a mother and her new little one.

It is at this time, and especially during the first 40 days following birth, that a mom and her baby do best cocooning at home together in their own 'nest' as they establish breastfeeding, sleep and nap together, and fall deeply in love.

During her babymoon, mom learns to read her baby’s cues (preventing unnecessary tears and fears for baby - and for mom), and it is the time that secure attachment begins to develop between a baby and parents because of their tuned-in responsiveness. Infants learn that the world can be trusted, that they are loved, not ignored.

Oxytocin flows freely for a supported mother who is cared for herself, and this feel-good love hormone floods her baby as well when kept close within a newborn’s natural habitat: mom’s chest.

During the vital babymoon, milk supply is built and regulated, and baby’s respiration, cardiovascular functioning, hormones, and temperature are stabilized by being close to mom. The babymoon is a sacred period, and one that each mother and her baby deserve to fully savor and be supported through. This is one time that we do not wish to disrupt the primal process of mothering.
