Helping Babies Breathe Training in Malawi 2014

The key to the Helping Babies Breathe programme is the First Golden Minute, within which most babies will recover and breathe after birth. A quick visual and auditory assessment of the baby at birth and simple steps to assist babies to breathe, can save lives and give a much better start to babies who struggle to breathe at birth.

Spiritual Birth Philosophy

Women need to prepare for natural birth in every aspect of their lives, including the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical areas of their being. A woman deserves the right to choose her companions as well as where and how she will give birth to her child.

Pregnancy and birth are normal life events for most women. To this end, interventions should be kept to a minimum wherever possible. A baby who is born gently and welcomed by warm, caring parents receives the best possible start in life.

Women who are well prepared in their minds, bodies and spirits can experience birth as a profoundly moving and empowering event.
