What an exceptional evidence-based, accessible midwifery journal - owned and published by midwives. Feeling proud at beginning of 2025 to share this, featuring REAL midwives from the Global South, on the front cover. @world_midwives @evitafernandez6 @dunkleybent @TorresOyarzo
🌊 New Year, New Waves: January issue is HERE! 🌊 Kick off 2025 with transformative insights, from redefining midwifery’s meaning and waterbirth reflections to mental health in maternity care, working with pain, & fostering supportive environments. 🌟 ow.ly/OAWr50UzUZ1

New research insights show oxytocin levels surge with breastfeeding, peaking in early postpartum & influencing milk production & maternal bonding. Stress & medical interventions can impact these effects. For #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, let's further support #mothers. #midwifery
