Lamaze is a trusted leader in childbirth education, providing evidence-based information and support to parents, educators, and healthcare professionals for over 60 years. Their goal is to empower parents to feel confident and supported throughout their journey to parenthood, offering recommendations grounded in the latest research and respecting the unique experiences of all families.
With a focus on transformative and respectful care, Lamaze promotes the Six Healthy Birth Practices, which are based on evidence-based research and aim to ease the birthing process. These practices encourage labor to begin naturally, promote movement and position changes during labor, emphasize continuous support from loved ones or doulas, discourage unnecessary interventions, advocate for birthing positions that align with the body's urges to push, and prioritize keeping mother and baby together for optimal bonding and well-being.
