Embracing the infant through intuitive and attachment Parenting.
Jenni Watts, RN, RM, RCHN, IBCLC, BA (Nurs).
To address this topic has incorporated twenty five years of working with pregnant
women, mother, newborns an their families .Something has changed in the way mothers
an families view their infants .Sections of society an parents have begun to question
many of the old style parenting models. The days when children were seen an not heard
have been replaced with a questioning of these practices. What have been the long term
outcomes of the more rigid parent focus? What is so important about the newborn an
infant period? What I will present today is an overview of the current trends an research
related to the newborn, infant fields. What I propose is to highlight how important
education to new parents is. Firstly how to understand their infants and secondly how to
empower them in making decisions related to their parenting style. The privileged role of
working with pregnant women, new parents and their families over the 80s 90s an 2000
decades has highlighted varying trends an patterns that have evolved in the field of
parenting.
