What is the basic underlying philosophy of the Bradley Method?
Most important is the belief in having a husband or a partner involved as a coach. They are important because they know you best in terms of how to help you relax and because you usually have been through life together. Ultimately, this helps with bonding as a couple and it helps with bonding with the child at birth. Bradley really focuses on the joint effort of working together, and this builds a foundation for parenting later on. Bradley also covers nutrition, exercise, and positive communication techniques between the couple and with medical staff. There’s also a lot of information on breastfeeding.
