Directions:

1. To preheated oven, add in one baby and allow steeping; with the aid of partner. .

2. Select a well trained doula through one of the leading doula organizations, or a local doula program, such as Bella Birth Choices. (Doula comes from the Greek language meaning woman caregiver or servant) With a doula’s support research has shown women tend to result in shorter labors with fewer complications and the need for interventions and medications. With a doula mixed in a lot is relieved of the coach’s role as the doula is there as the assistant coach; though they are trained, if needed, to act as the main coach. They also, in the last step helps reinforce the garnishment, lactation.

3. Add in 12 informative weeks through The Bradley Method®. With this well incorporated; a nutritional diet and exercise routine will be established. Regular Labor, relaxation, and birthing practice will commence with the support of a well trained coach.

4. Incorporate throughout the baking process 10-15 visits to a supportive care provider, doctor or midwife. Choose one that shares the same view of a normal, natural, safe birth.

5. Stir in 41-1/7th months of staying low risk with good nutrition, exercise, education, avoidance of harmful substances (e.g. drugs, smoking, alcohol, mercury, caffeine, etc), relaxation, and avoidance of stress. (Adapted from“What You Can Do To Stay Healthy and Low Risk”. The Bradley Method® Teacher’s Manual. Pg60-62.1995/2001.) 41-1/7th month is adapted from Yale University’s study compiled in 1990 Mittendorf, et al., "The Length of Uncomplicated Human Gestation," "Obstetrics and Gynecology," vol. 75, no. 6, June 1990; not the 1800 study stating 40 weeks and the baby is fully done. This can cause under ripening of such a delicate dish.

6. Dash in a few parents, friends, and/or nurses during the final stages. Though added in at the end is so important to this process. They can help create the compiled atmosphere that the baby will be laid out in. The nurses often are the ones that determine the baby being placed directly on mom or in the incubator.

7. Once the baby has been plated on the mother’s 98.6* body garnishing can take place with good lactation support through the doula, training received in The Bradley Method®, attendance to La Leche League meetings, and hospital staff.

The place of birth is important, but more importantly are the support team surrounding the birth. Some hospitals may be more supportive towards the normal, natural birth process. Choose each element of your birth wisely, with much research, and subjectivity.

Store at skin-to-skin temperatures around 98.6*. When extra dressings, cloths, are required; baby should be dressed in accordance to the parent who leans to feeling the coldest.

*Choose quality ingredients wisely to help ensure success!
