Here at Missouri Midwifery we are very focused on ensuring that the health of both mom and baby is monitored to the fullest extent after birth. Our newborn care services are in place to make sure you go home with a happy, healthy mother and baby. Immediately after the birth, your baby is put in skin-to-skin contact with mom. This will instantly create a beautiful bond between you and your baby. It is also a great way to induce breastfeeding initiation.

This is an important and unique part of our process. By not separating you and your baby after birth, breastfeeding initiation becomes much easier and more natural. Everyone on our staff is certified to be a breastfeeding advisor. This means we can answer any questions and give you advice on the best techniques and most comfortable positions. We will make sure you are able to nurse your baby before returning home.
