«Pour une naissance sans violence» is the essay by Frédérick Leboyer published by Éditions du Seuil in a Points paperback edition (156 pages, in French).
Frédérick Leboyer argues that the newborn is a complete and sensitive being, and that standard childbirth procedures can be traumatic for them. He proposes a serene environment, with dim light, silence, and a warm bath, so that the baby can pass from the womb to the outside world without fear or violence.
The work was originally published in 1974; this paperback edition, from the Points Essais collection, dates from 2001.
For expectant parents and healthcare professionals interested in a birth that respects the baby.
Frédérick Leboyer was a French obstetrician and author. He is best known for his 1975 book, Birth Without Violence, which popularized gentle birthing techniques. He also advocated low lighting and quiet in a warm room to limit the supposed shock of birth,[Reynolds, Concise Encyclopedia of Special Education, 138] and that a newborn be laid on its mother's stomach and allowed to bond, instead of being taken away for tests.
