Ep. 132 How birth can shape a brain-body system geared towards resilience

Skin-to-skin contact during the 6 hours after birth has an enormous impact on the bond between Baby, Mom and Dad. Childbirth educator Cozette Laubser from BabyGym® describes how this affects a baby’s brain and those of its parents, and the role played by the triune brain, oxytocin, dopamine and cortisol. She offers practical guidelines for babies born prematurely or by Caesarean section - and supporting bonding once Baby goes home. www.mariettesnyman.co.za · babygym.co.za · sensiblebirth.co.za · This episode's podcast notes and photographs · www.facebook.com · www.instagram.com · www.linkedin.com
