In this episode, we conclude Siman Shin Lamed, exploring the halachos of childbirth on Shabbos. The discussion reviews the historical distinction between seventh- and eighth-month births and how modern medical advances have changed their halachic implications. The Mishnah Berurah and related commentaries guide us through practical rulings: handling a newborn, expressing milk for a mother’s relief, straightening an infant’s limbs, and swaddling. We also examine cases of spinal and joint realignment, dental retainers, and the repositioning of a newborn’s epiglottis — clarifying what is permitted on Shabbos for the wellbeing of mother and child.
