Leboyer method

The Leboyer method is a gentle approach to childbirth that focuses on reducing stress for the newborn. It emphasizes a calm, warm, and quiet environment during labor and birth, allowing the baby to enter the world more slowly and softly. This includes practices like dim lighting, gentle handling, skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth, and delaying procedures like cutting the umbilical cord. The goal is to create a more peaceful transition for the baby, promoting comfort, bonding, and overall well-being during the critical first moments of life.
