Wait as long as possible to tie & cut the umbilical cord When the cord is pulseless white and bloodless. Baby has received the oxygen and blood containing the newborns natural immune spectrum.

*The newborn at the time of birth is in a double respiratory state. Baby continues being nurtured by the placenta. Receiving oxygen blood and nutrients through the umbilical cord. His lungs are not fully activated yet, he gradually starts breathing air through his nose and then, in ease activates his lungs.

At the hospital ? Ask for your placenta and send or take it home with you.. placenta can be encapsulated for new mother and or plant it under a tree.💚 can be frozen until it’s time to plant a tree 🌲.

more info…. A couple of extra minutes attached to the umbilical cord at birth may translate into a small boost in neurodevelopment several years later. Children whose cords were cut more than three minutes after birth had higher social skills and fine motor skills than those whose cords were cut within 10 seconds.

Iron in the body is critical for healthy brain development. The natural transfusion of blood via delayed cord clamping delivers a substantial amount of iron.

One study found that waiting two minutes increased iron stores by 27-47 mg. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, waiting three minutes may prevent iron deficiency during the first year of life.

Approximately one-third of its total blood volume resides in the placenta. This is equal to the volume of blood that will be needed to fully perfuse the fetal lungs, liver, and kidneys at birth.

Another potential benefit of delayed cord clamping is to ensure that the baby can receive the complete amount of clotting factors. Basically the increased volume of blood will naturally increase blood platelet levels, which are needed for normal blood clotting.

Delayed clamping also results in an infusion of stem cells. This plays an essential role in the development of the immune, respiratory, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Along with many other functions. The concentration of stem cells in fetal blood is higher than at any other time of life.

Immediate cord clamping leaves nearly one-third of these critical cells in the placenta. Stem cells may also help repair any brain damage the baby might have suffered during a difficult birth. Why do you think hospitals want to bank/buy cord blood so often? It can be used to help with so many things!

Delayed cord clamping is SOOOOO important. Not just delaying a few minutes. That’s better than nothing, yes. But delay until the cord is no longer pulsing and is white. Is ideal for baby to get all the good divinely created for him and her.

circumcision Is the first unnecessary religious trama.

The Timeless Tradition of Baby-wearing

 Throughout history, across diverse cultures, and spanning generations, a beautiful tradition known as babywearing has persisted. This practice involves carrying infants in a cloth carrier, close to the caregiver's body. While it may seem like a simple act, babywearing holds a myriad of incredible benefits for both mama and baby. In this blog, we will explore the ancestral roots of babywearing and delve into the remarkable advantages it offers to enhance the bond and well-being of both mother and child.

A Return to Ancestral Wisdom

Babywearing is deeply rooted in our ancestral heritage, observed in cultures worldwide. For centuries, caregivers have recognized the importance of keeping infants close to their bodies. This practice allows for constant contact, nurturing, and support during the critical stages of a baby's development.

Enhanced Physical Development

Babywearing promotes optimal physical development by providing a nurturing environment. The gentle movements and stimulation during babywearing help babies develop core strength, coordination, and balance, laying a foundation for motor skills later in life.

Regulation of Body Systems

Close physical contact through babywearing helps regulate a baby's body systems. The rhythm of the caregiver's movements can soothe the baby's respiratory and circulatory systems, contributing to more regular breathing patterns and increased oxygenation.

Digestive Comfort

The upright position while babywearing can aid in digestion and reduce common discomforts such as colic and reflux. The gentle pressure on the baby's abdomen can help alleviate gas and promote healthy digestion.

Enhanced Immunity

Babywearing exposes infants to the caregiver's microbiome, promoting a diverse range of beneficial bacteria colonization. This exposure strengthens the baby's immune system and reduces the risk of allergies and infections.

Secure Attachment

Babywearing fosters a strong emotional bond between caregiver and baby, promoting secure attachment. The constant physical closeness helps infants feel safe, loved, and secure, building trust and forming a solid foundation for healthy emotional development.

Language and Cognitive Development

The proximity to the caregiver's voice and facial expressions during babywearing stimulates the baby's senses and aids in language acquisition. Babies who are frequently carried are often exposed to more conversations and social interactions, which positively influence their cognitive development.

Regulation of Stress Response

Babywearing has a calming effect on babies, regulating their stress response and reducing fussiness. The close physical contact releases oxytocin, the "love hormone," which promotes feelings of well-being and relaxation.

Health Benefits for Mama:

Physical Comfort

Babywearing distributes the weight of the baby evenly across the caregiver's body, reducing strain on the back, shoulders, and arms. It promotes better posture and alleviates discomfort associated with carrying infants for extended periods.

Bonding and Emotional Well-being

Babywearing strengthens the bond between mother and child, enhancing feelings of connection and satisfaction. The constant physical contact releases hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, promoting maternal well-being and reducing the risk of postpartum depression.

Increased Mobility

With babywearing, mothers can engage in daily activities while keeping their babies close. This hands-free convenience allows them to tend to household tasks, run errands, and pursue activities while maintaining a close connection with their infants.

Babywearing, an ancestral practice that transcends cultures and generations, offers profound benefits for both mama and baby. It promotes optimal physical, emotional, and cognitive development for infants while nurturing secure attachment and fostering maternal well-being. As we embrace this timeless tradition, let us recognize the power of baby-wearing in strengthening the bond between caregiver and child, promoting optimal health, and honoring the wisdom of our ancestors.
