Although several Canadian medical societies6 7
and the American Public Health Association8 have adopted policies promoting or acknowledging the viability of
home births, the American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists continues to oppose it.9 Studies on
home birth have been criticised if they have been too small to accurately assess perinatal mortality, unable to distinguish planned from unplanned
home births accurately, or retrospective with the potential of bias from selective reporting.
The point is that,
although yes, some women
and babies still die in the
hospital: First: That number is FAR LOWER than what it was when everyone gave birth at

Although it appears that the preventable newborn deaths at
home and hospital birth balance out, homebirth is clearly safer when you take into consideration the risk of maternal death that 20 % of low risk U.S. women face as a result of avoidable cesareans which became necessary because they went to
hospital.

hospital settings.12

and disadvantages of giving birth at
home and in
hospital,

Although not directly comparable, our findings are in broad agreement with those from routine data in Scotland that have indicated a positive association between Baby Friendly accreditation, but not certification,
and breastfeeding at 1 week of age.17 Our findings reinforce those of Coutinho
and colleagues who reported that high exclusive breastfeeding rates achieved in Brazilian
hospitals implementing staff training with the course content of the Baby Friendly
Hospital Initiative were short - lived and not sustained at home unless implemented in combination with post-natal home visits.35 Similarly in Italy, training of staff with an adapted version of the Baby Friendly course content resulted in high breastfeeding rates at discharge, with a rapid decrease in the days after leaving hospital.36 In contrast, a cluster randomized trial in Belarus (PROBIT) found an association between an intervention modelled on the Baby Friendly Initiative with an increased duration of breastfeeding37 an association also reported from an observational study in Germany.38 Mothers in Belarus stay in hospital post-partum for 6 — 7 days, and in Germany for 5 days, with post-natal support likely to be particularly important in countries where mothers stay in the hospital for a shorter time, with early discharge likely to limit the influence of a hospital - based inter

Although planned
home and hospital births exhibited similar perinatal mortality rates, planned
home births were associated with significantly elevated neonatal mortality rates.
The ACOG Committee on Obstetric Practice's opinion on planned
home birth (2011) noted that
although the Committee believes that
hospitals and birthing centers are the safest setting for birth, it respects the right of a woman to make a medically informed decision about delivery.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health)-

home visits in early labour to be more effective than telephone triage in reducing the number of women attending the
hospital for assessment before they are in labour
and those attending before 3 cm cervical dilation,
although the
home visits had no impact on CS rates or birth outcomes.
The findings also emphasise the importance of women having a supportive birth environment
and although midwives suggested that the optimal place of birth to facilitate normal birth is at
home, they also described how they were able to adapt a
hospital birthing space to facilitate normal birth
and suggested that it is the responsibility of the midwife to protect the birth space, regardless of where the birth takes place.

A randomised trial in Brazil that compared a
hospital based protocol (similar to the baby friendly
hospital initiative) with another incorporating intensive
home visits, however, found that while the protocol achieved high rates of exclusive breast feeding in
hospital, the rates fell rapidly thereafter.27 These findings were confirmed in the UK by the millennium cohort study, 5
and the authors recommended that the baby friendly
hospital initiative as a strategy for promotion of breast feeding should be reassessed
and that other strategies are required to support mothers in the UK to breast feed for the recommended duration.5 27

and postnatal support is ideal, this may be limited by economic or time resources.
