EPODE (Ensemble Prévenons l’Obésité des Enfants or Together Let’s Prevent Childhood Obesity)

Dr. Sarah Buckley will present the results of her ground-breaking report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing. Her presentation will have a focus on the impact of physiological birth on lifelong health and wellbeing, including through optimizing breastfeeding and maternal child attachment success, and the possible impacts of common maternity-care interventions on these hormonally-mediated processes. This presentation will provide key information about the life long health promoting effects of physiological birth for Public Health professionals and all HCPs that provide support during labour and birth.
