New Video Release from La Leche League Japan

In conjunction with the World Breastfeeding Week celebrated during the first week of August, La Leche League Japan has proudly released a new video titled "What You Should Know During Pregnancy." This informative video addresses crucial topics relevant to expectant mothers, covering important discussions that often arise during La Leche League meetings, such as pain-free childbirth and how to prevent postpartum depression.

The insights in the video are presented by Dr. Nami Tanaka, an obstetrician, IBCLC, and a supportive member of La Leche League. Her expertise provides valuable guidance for women navigating the journey of pregnancy and early motherhood. The video serves as a vital resource for addressing common concerns that many women have, especially regarding childbirth methods that promote both maternal comfort and effective breastfeeding practices.

"Pain-free childbirth and breastfeeding are relevant topics that can significantly impact a woman's mental health and overall experience during and after pregnancy," says Dr. Tanaka in the video. She emphasizes the importance of preparing emotionally and physically as women approach childbirth, as well as the importance of community support. The video not only reinforces the concepts of maternal care but also invites families to embrace the shared experiences of pregnancy and motherhood.
