🌿 Is Home Birth Safe? Here’s What the Research Actually Says.
When home birth is planned, attended by a qualified midwife, and chosen by someone with a healthy, low‑risk pregnancy, the evidence is incredibly consistent:
Home birth is as safe...IF NOT SAFER... as hospital birth — with fewer interventions and higher satisfaction.

A large 2019 meta‑analysis published in The Lancet looked at over 500,000 planned home births and found no difference in perinatal or neonatal mortality compared to planned hospital births.
Other peer‑reviewed studies echo the same thing:

Lower rates of inductions, epidurals, and cesareans

Safe outcomes for low‑risk pregnancies when attended by trained midwives

High maternal satisfaction and better birth experiences

Home birth isn’t about being “brave.”
It’s about choosing a setting that supports physiology, autonomy, and calm — with skilled midwives who know how to keep birth safe.

Birth works best when people feel supported, respected, and free to follow their instincts.
And for many families, that happens right at home.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) now calls on ALL maternity facilities to implement the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding when developing breastfeeding and infant feeding policies.

In its newly revised Model Maternity Policy (Clinical Protocol #7), the ABM calls on facilities to:

✳️Implement all Ten Steps as a package
✳️Engage in continuous self-monitoring and regular external review to ensure the steps are being implemented
✳️Ensure all health workers who interact with mothers and babies have competency-based training to protect and support breastfeeding

The ABM notes:

“The BFHI is a model with proven efficacy, and its strength lies in the conjoint action of all its components.”

We’re thrilled to see the Ten Steps named directly within this major clinical protocol, and proud to walk alongside facilities as they turn evidence into everyday practice.

No bath needed!
Vernix is one of those magical, beautifully designed newborn protections that parents often don’t realize is incredibly valuable.
🌿 Benefits of Vernix Caseosa
The newborn’s natural immune shield
1. Antimicrobial Protection
Vernix contains proteins that inhibit bacteria like E. coli, Group B Strep, and Listeria.
It acts as a first-line immune barrier, especially important during the transition from womb to world
2. Temperature Regulation
Babies coated in vernix lose heat more slowly.
It helps maintain stable body temperature, reducing the risk of hypothermia after birth.
3. Moisturizes and Protects Skin
Vernix is rich in: Lipids
It prevents newborn skin from drying, cracking, or peeling — no lotions needed.

As the year comes to a close, we’re re-elevating one of the most important studies we shared in 2025.

The findings are clear—and hopeful: When Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) practices are fully implemented, racial and ethnic disparities in breastfeeding outcomes disappear.

This is what evidence-based care can do—for families and for the teams who support them.

Join the facilities turning evidence into action, by pursuing Baby-Friendly designation.

Large cohort studies have revealed a fascinating link between late motherhood and exceptional longevity. Women who gave birth to their last child after age 33 were about twice as likely to live to 95 or older. Those who had children after 40 were approximately four times more likely to reach 100.

Researchers suggest multiple factors could explain this connection. Late childbirth may indicate overall better health, fertility, and genetic advantages that support both reproductive longevity and general lifespan. Hormonal patterns associated with later pregnancies may also contribute to long-term cardiovascular and metabolic benefits.

Social and lifestyle factors may play a role as well. Women who have children later often have greater stability, resources, and purpose, which support both mental and physical health. These factors combined with biological advantages may help promote longer, healthier lives.

While late motherhood is not possible or desirable for everyone, the findings highlight how reproductive timing can intersect with overall health. This research offers insight into the surprising ways fertility patterns relate to longevity, suggesting that motherhood later in life, combined with healthy habits, may support a longer, more resilient life.
