A Gentle Birth 1976? Le Boyer Delivery Method, 1976,

“Episode number 1 of Series “The Tresillian child development series”.

This film shows the Le Boyer method of delivery – the childbirth experience of one woman where technological intervention is kept to a minimum, and drugs are replaced by a relaxed supportive environment, with the father present to reassure and comfort the mother. Narrated by Dr. Harry Tischler.”

“Interspersed with a gynaecologist’s dry and factual remarks, the birth of a child is once again an extremely miraculous occurrence. As understated as it may be, the film is a passionate plea for immediate physical contact between the mother’s breast and the baby.”
