What Does Having a Healthy Baby Mean? - 56

In this episode of the Birth Rebel podcast, Angel delves into the concept of what it truly means to have a healthy baby. She explores how the current standard often emphasizes merely having an alive baby and argues for a deeper understanding of health that includes long-term physical, mental, emotional, and immune health. Angel emphasizes the perinatal period as a holistic phase from conception to one year postpartum, advocating for integrated care for both mother and baby. She critiques the modern reliance on 'scientific mothering,' highlighting the loss of intuitive mothering wisdom passed down through generations. Angel also discusses the importance of skin-to-skin contact, or kangaroo care, for the newborn’s immediate and long-term health, bonding, and immune system. The episode challenges listeners to reconsider how modern scientific practices could be undermining natural, instinctual parenting methods.
