Lisa Taylor - Birth Matters NYC Childbirth Education & Labor Support

Today, Birth Matters alums Liz & Matt will share the details of what they call their “grumpy old Scotsman” son’s uncomplicated birth at Manhattan’s New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell. Liz will share how she had lots of back labor and how the epidural only worked partially and temporarily. Later, she’ll share about her early breastfeeding challenges of oversupply and a food sensitivity they discovered their son has. Matt & Liz will also share some tips for partners and for the postpartum period. Then they’ll reflect on the transition into life with their son, after Matt had a daughter many years ago with another partner.
