As birth professionals, we know how deeply connected the mind and body are throughout the entire perinatal journey — and that connection doesn’t stop once the baby is born.
This article from HypnoBirthing International highlights a beautiful link between HypnoBirthing and positive breastfeeding experiences:

Key takeaways for us as birth workers:
The calm, oxytocin-rich state nurtured through HypnoBirthing practices supports both smoother births and easier milk let-down postpartum.
Techniques like deep breathing and guided relaxation can be powerful tools for new parents navigating those early feeds.
Helping families carry their HypnoBirthing mindset into the “fourth trimester” promotes confidence, connection, and physiological flow.
As professionals supporting families through birth and beyond, we can remind them that the same relaxation tools that eased their labor can also help their breastfeeding journey unfold naturally.
