World Doula Week started off strong with a slow but steady labor, and a beautiful birth of one of the most alert & inquisitive new humans I've ever met. She seemed quite intrigued by the whole affair, as she soaked in her first moments Earthside. Happy Birthday, Little one - I hope you never lose that wonder 💗

It's been a busy weekend at the Encapsulation Station. My trusty dehydrator and Magic Bullet have been working overtime to return two beautiful placentas in the form of supplements ; providing energy, nourishment & healing to the very people who created them.
Love this work!

Why I encourage Dads to get in on the skin-to-skin 💓

Paternal skin-to-skin contact (SSC) in the first hour-often called the “Golden Hour”-triggers biological shifts in both father and infant that stabilize the baby and accelerates bonding.

🗂️Raising Oxytocin (The “Love Hormone”):

📑For the Father: Physical touch, especially bare chest-to-chest contact, stimulates the father’s brain to release oxytocin, which lowers his anxiety and reduces testosterone. This hormonal shift makes him more sensitive and responsive to his baby’s subtle cues.

📑For the Infant: Direct skin contact also boosts the baby’s oxytocin levels. This hormone serves as a natural sedative, counteracting the high levels of stress hormones (catecholamines) released during birth.

🗂️Helping the Baby Cry Less:

📑Biological Reassurance: A newborn’s brain interprets separation as a survival threat, leading to “separation distress calls” (intense crying). SSC provides the familiar sounds of a heartbeat and a parent scent, signaling safety and stopping the distress response.

📑Stress Reduction: Studies show that babies in SSC have significantly lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels after just 20 minutes of contact and they are 12 times less likely to cry compared to babies placed in a cot.

🗂️Improving Sleep and Regulation:

📑Deep Sleep Patterns: SSC promotes more restful sleep and longer sleep cycles. Babies in skin-to-skin contact spend more time in “quiet sleep”, which is essential for healthy brain development and organization.

📑Physiological Stability: The father’s body acts as a natural thermostat, stabilizing the baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing. When a baby’s vital signs are regulated by their parent’s body, they conserve energy that would otherwise be spent on survival, allowing them to fall into deeper, more restorative sleep.

📑Transitioning States: Infants who receive paternal SSC often reach a calm, “drowsy” state faster than those left in a standard bassinet.
