What Would Mammals Do?
November 4, 2007 by Amy Spangler | 3 questions or comments
What Would Mammals Do? is the first in a series of interactive webinars offered by Conscious Woman, an online resource for issues related to women’s health and the environment.
Presenter, Diane Wiessinger, an animal behaviorist, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and La Leche League Leader (LLL), will discuss breastfeeding and mothering lessons that can be gleaned from other mammals.
What Would Mammals Do? is a fascinating journey with our mammalian counterparts through labor, birth, lactation, and beyond. Through a series of amazing photographs and videos, participants will discover for themselves the implications mammalian ancestry has for the way humans give birth and begin the process of mothering in modern America.
- What happens when other mammal mothers are deprived of their chosen place, time, and sensations of birth?
- What if the resulting birth is too hard… or too easy?
- To what extent might this information shed light on our own mothering experiences?
This 90-minute program will be offered on four dates in November and December 2007 at a cost of $40.00. For additional information or to register visit Conscious Woman.
This looks wonderful!
Hi! I am a birth doula in BC and I just discovered the Conscious Woman website and it looks very inspiring! I am glad there are alternative answers to medical questions more easily available! It is much needed information. Definately a site I will refer to clients so they may make more informed choices.
I am particularly interested in the two webinars that I missed: “What Would Mammals Do?” and “Childhood Vaccinations: Questions All Parents Should Ask”… is there a possibility that there may be articles available on these to read if one is unable to attend a certain webinar?
Sincerely,
Melanie
Hi Melanie,
I would hope that Conscious Woman might make transcripts or tapes available to those unable to participate, but I can’t say for sure. You might want to contact them directly. Good luck!
