Good point about terms can under people’s skin ...
But units which have not taken the trouble to audit themselves to find out from mothers what their experiences were may indeed be “baby unfriendly” and will never know.
Which units can demonstrate, through regular feedback from women, that they are providing “xxx salutogenic/empowering care”? The only data we have is birth outcomes ... but nothing about the steps (as in 10 BFI steps) women experience which will lead to the final outcomes.

Yes, but "humanisation" is a bit like the "baby friendly" wording which
looks as if all other units are "baby unfriendly" and here the opposite
would be "unhuman birth"?...And all this gets under the skin of some people.

I would vote for something which includes the "positive experience of WHO"
and NO UNNECESSARY ACTION (if it's not broken why mend it?), and promotion
of salutogenesis and empowerment...

Have just been in email communication with Liz.


I wonder if the Humanization of birth would be a good framework to use? WHO
might be interested?
