What are the specific steps of the LeBoyet method? What are the benefits of the LeBoyet method?

During childbirth, shifting the focus to the baby rather than the mother is a new way of childbirth. It fully takes into account the fear of the newborn baby about the unknown world, and further conducts a series of comfort to help the baby adapt to the surrounding environment faster, which is what we call the Leboyer childbirth method.

Leboyer method of childbirth

We all know that newborns will make their first cry at the moment of birth. Many people think that this is the most normal phenomenon of childbirth, but has anyone really understood why babies cry when they are born? In fact, the vision, hearing, and touch of newborns are no less than those of adults. When they come into the world, due to the stimulation of external sounds, the fetus will feel tremendous pressure and then cry!

The Leboye method is a new method of childbirth. Its main feature is that it fully respects the newborn population. Its greatest benefit is that it reduces the pain of the baby being born from the mother's body. It can reduce the stimulation of environmental changes on the newborn, and can effectively reduce various external pressures on the newborn. Babies born in the Leboye method will not only not cry, but also open their eyes immediately to observe and adapt to the surrounding environment, fall asleep with a steady breathing and expression, and rarely cry at night after returning home.

Advantages of Leboye Delivery

Babies don't cry often at night. The loud cry after birth is a sign of a successful birth. However, the umbilical cord of newborn babies is cut and they are sent to the neonatal unit alone before they taste breast milk. Newborn babies can only express their fear by crying. However, babies born in the Leboye method not only don't cry, but also open their eyes immediately to observe and adapt to the surrounding environment, fall asleep with steady breathing and expression, and rarely cry at night after returning home.

It works better when combined with other birthing methods. Leboyer birth is not focused on short-term effects during labor and birth, but rather on long-term effects on the emotional and physical development of the baby. Because Leboyer birth is only focused on the fetus and does not relieve pain for the mother, it works better when combined with other birthing methods such as Lamaze birth.

Respect for the human rights of newborns. In general, the priority of childbirth is to reduce the pain of the mother, and medical staff often only pay attention to safety and convenience. However, Leboye childbirth focuses on the newborn baby. The Leboye childbirth law believes that the newborn baby should also be fully respected and advocates the protection of the human rights of newborns.

Keep the lighting as low as possible As long as the mother and fetus are in good condition, anyone can try the Leboyer method. First, turn off all lights in the room except for those needed to create a similar environment to that in the womb.

Create a quiet atmosphere In order to create an atmosphere exactly like the environment inside the womb, doctors and everyone involved in delivery must speak in a low voice. Among the various senses of the fetus, the most developed are feeling and hearing. In the womb, the fetus can only hear very small sounds, but if it hears a loud sound at the moment the womb is opened, the fetus will feel heavy mental pressure.

Feeding breast milk immediately after delivery After delivery, you should feed your newborn baby breast milk before cutting the umbilical cord. Generally, the umbilical cord is cut 5 minutes after birth. If the umbilical cord is cut after the pulsation stops, the baby will not cry, but will be able to open his eyes to observe the surroundings and fall asleep peacefully.

Let the baby play in the bathtub. In the amniotic fluid, the baby is in a weightless state. In order to let the baby overcome gravity, you can put the baby in the bathtub to adapt to the external environment. If the water is up to 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 him 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 weightlessness.
