La naissance sans violence

Birth Without Violence
Book • 1975
In *La naissance sans violence*, Frédérick Leboyer describes his philosophy of gentle birthing, emphasizing the importance of creating a womb-like environment during delivery.

He suggests practices such as low lighting, quiet in a warm room, immediate placement of the baby on the mother’s stomach after birth, delayed cutting of the umbilical cord, infant massage, and a warm bath (known as a 'Leboyer bath') to alleviate birth trauma and enhance mother-child bonding.

The book also explores the sensations experienced by embryos and fetuses before, during, and after birth, and critiques traditional medical birth methods for their abrupt and potentially traumatic transition from the womb to the outside world.
