"Welcome to the Spinning World"
the people sang,
as they washed your new, tiny hands.

"Welcome to the green Earth,"
the people sang,
as they wrapped your wet, slippery body.
 

And as they held you close they whispered into your open, curving ear,
"We are so glad you've come!"

"On the Day You Were Born"

 

 

 We keep mom and baby together.  We recognize and respect the process of mother and baby bonding immediately after birth, and work to support it.  This includes providing a quite, unrushed enviroment, and by performing the newborn exam within mom's reach. 

Newborn exams are provided within the first hours after birth, at the one and three day home visit, and at the two and six week office visits. We recommend that all our clients choose a newborn care provider prenatally, and have baby seen within the first week of birth.
