Taking advantage of 'the golden hour' is the absolute best thing for you and your baby.
Why has the “golden hour after birth” become a popular buzz term, if you will? And why are hospitals scrambling to change the culture of their labor and delivery units to cater to this “new” trend?To understand the importance of this golden hour, you must understand what is happening in your little one … and why he needs you to be on his team advocating to make the transition to life on the outside a smooth one.I am one of the fortunate people who get to participate in birth, and I get paid.
The purpose of the three fetal shunts is to bypass the liver and the lungs. Both of which we need to live life on the outside, but not on the inside, of the womb. As a labor and delivery nurse, I wanted to lay the groundwork for what is happening inside the baby as it is born. It’s something to be aware of and so worthy of respect.
Did you know that after the birth of a newborn, if placed immediately on the mother’s stomach, the baby canI’m not sure why we think that humans, the only mammal capable of building empires, could not do something as simple as crawl to a food source, but most people doubt it. Maybe it’s because the majority of people have intervention after intervention in the labor room. And I’m sorry I have unwittingly been a part of that faux pas.Granted, the crawl isn’t immediate and quick.
A baby placed on his mother will find her face and gaze into her eyes. I wish I could describe this process adequately. I’m not sure I can put into words what I want everyone to hear about this gaze between a mother and her child. It’s too big for words.
