Expert Q&A
What are some advantages of having my baby at home?
First and foremost, you get to keep your baby! The baby won't be taken away for bathing, blood tests, "observation" or any other reason; bonding begins immediately and continues uninterrupted. Immediate breastfeeding without time limits is supported, which has been proven to increase breastfeeding success. You choose who will attend the birth, so your privacy is assured and no strangers will have access to you or your baby. You have the undivided attention and support of your birth attendants, and anyone you wish may also be present. The focus is on what is best for you, your baby, and your family, not on general schedules or policies. The comfort and convenience of staying home may result in a smoother labor without induced complications, and allows you to control your environment.
