What is the Le Boyer method of childbirth?

When we face a mother giving birth, all the focus and attention is on the mother. How to help the mother give birth smoothly? How to help the mother relieve pain? However, few people pay attention to the fact that the newborn baby is the one who needs the most care. The Leboye method of childbirth makes people realize this.

In the past, most childbirth methods were aimed at alleviating the pain of pregnant women, and did not pay much attention to the pain of newborns. In a strange world, the first cry of a newborn is not a cry of joy, but a response to fear and stress. Therefore, Dr. Le Boyer invented the Le Boyer childbirth method to relieve the pain of babies.

The fetus's vision, hearing, touch and feelings are no less than those of an adult, so their rights must be respected. The Leboyer method of childbirth can reduce the stimulation of environmental changes on the newborn and can effectively reduce various external pressures.

He proposed a method called "birth without violence" (also known as Le Boyer's method). This method, which focuses on the child, aims to maintain the natural process of childbirth. Under natural conditions, the fetus is already accustomed to living in the mother's womb: in a dark and quiet environment, maintaining contact with the mother. Therefore, the delivery room is set in a dark atmosphere, a basin of warm water is waiting for the baby, and all medical staff are asked to remain silent. In this atmosphere, the baby is born quietly, with big eyes and gurgling joyfully. Then, they are immediately placed on the mother's belly, with their umbilical cord still intact, until their breathing is smooth, and then it is cut. After a while, the baby is gently massaged by the mother and then immersed in warm water. Considering the delicate nature of the newborn, the whole delivery procedure is aimed at reducing "birth trauma".

1. The Leboyer method of delivery is a method of delivery that mainly reduces the baby's pain.

2. The fetus's vision, hearing, touch and feelings are no less than those of an adult, so their rights must be respected. The Leboyer method of childbirth can reduce the stimulation of environmental changes on the newborn and can effectively reduce various external pressures.

3. Among the various senses of the fetus, the most developed are sensation and hearing. If the umbilical cord is cut after it stops pulsating, the baby will not cry, but will be able to open his eyes to observe the surroundings and fall asleep peacefully.

4. A series of measures taken just after the baby is born enable the baby to distinguish between gravity and weightlessness to avoid panic.

The Leboyer method is a new method of childbirth. Its biggest feature is to reduce the pain of the baby, so that the baby can reduce external stimulation when it is born, and effectively reduce external pressure. So what are the precautions for the Leboyer method? Let's learn about it together!

First of all, we need to create an atmosphere similar to the environment inside the uterus. During the delivery process, all lights in the room should be turned off except for the necessary lighting.

Secondly, you must keep quiet and keep your voice down during delivery. The fetus's sensory system is fully developed when it is in the mother's womb, so if it hears a loud noise at the moment of birth, the fetus will feel heavy mental pressure.

Furthermore, you should breastfeed the newborn before cutting the umbilical cord. Generally, the umbilical cord should be cut after 5 minutes. If the umbilical cord is cut after it stops beating, the baby will not cry.

You can put the newborn in warm water to adapt to the external environment. If the water reaches the neck, the baby will shake his arms and legs comfortably. At this time, if you take the baby out, he will cry. If the baby cries, put it back in the water. Repeat this two or three times, and the baby will be able to distinguish between the state of gravity and the state of no gravity.

The above are the precautions for the Le Boyer method of delivery. Here we would like to remind you that since the Le Boyer method of delivery is only centered on the fetus and does not have the effect of reducing the pain of the mother, therefore, if it is combined with other delivery methods, the effect will be better.
