Labour is eventful and stressful for both mama and bub. How can I help my baby recover from the trauma of birth?

As the mummies above mentioned, your baby is mos familiar with you. Hold your baby close to you, so that he can hear your heartbeat which is familiar to him. Or sway yourself (not the baby) gently as you cuddle him as this will trigger security and familiarity with your baby and remind him of being inside your womb swimming around. Limit the number of people that will be visitting you, and keep your environment as peaceful as possible to let your baby adapt.
