Lamaze International Care Practices that Promote Normal Birth
By Lamaze International, Inc.
Lamaze International believes that the following care practices, adopted from the World Health Organization (WHO), promote, support, and protect nature's plan for birth:
1. Labor begins on its own.
2. Freedom of movement throughout labor
3. Continuous labor support
4. No routine interventions
5. Nonsupine (e.g., upright or side-lying) positions for birth
6. No separation of mother and baby after birth with unlimited opportunity for breastfeeding
These six care practices are supported by research studies that examine the benefits and risks of medical care practices. One of the most important goals of medical care today is to provide evidence-based care.
