    Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing: Evidence and Implications for Women, Babies, and Maternity Care Sarah J. Buckley January 2015 Childbirth Connection A Program of the National Partnership for Women & Families About the National Partnership for Women & Families At the National Partnership for Women & Families, we believe that actions speak louder than words, and for four decades we have fought for every major policy advance that has helped women and families. Today, we promote reproductive and maternal-newborn health and rights, access to quality, affordable health care, fairness in the workplace, and policies that help women and men meet the dual demands of work and family. Our goal is to create a society that is free, fair and just, where nobody has to experi- ence discrimination, all workplaces are family friendly and no family is without quality, affordable health care and real economic security. Founded in 1971 as the Women’s Legal Defense Fund, the National Partnership for Women & Families is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)3 organization located in Washington, D.C. About Childbirth Connection Programs Founded in 1918 as Maternity Center Association, Childbirth Connection became a core program of the National Partnership for Women & Families in 2014. Throughout its history, Childbirth Connection pioneered strategies to promote safe, effective evidence-based maternity care, improve maternity care policy and quality, and help women navigate the complex health care system and make informed deci- sions about their care. Childbirth Connection Programs serve as a voice for the needs and interests of childbearing women and families, and work to improve the quality and value of maternity care through consumer engagement and health system transformation.

  • T. Berry Brazelton Biography Sketch T
    T. Berry Brazelton Biography sketch T. Berry Brazelton, whose prolific work with newborn infants and parents inspired researchers, clinicians and parents from around the world, died at his home in Barnstable, Cape Cod on March 13, 2018, a few months short of his 100th birthday. He continued to lecture, write, conduct research and was frequently consulted by the news media on everything from parenting, to work-life balance, right up to the end of his life. HMS Dean George Q. Daley wrote that even in the final year of his life, “Dr. Brazelton still had the spirit, spark, and twinkle in his eye of a master pediatrician. His energy and optimism were an inspiration to me. He will be sorely missed.” Thomas Berry Brazelton was born in Waco, Texas on May 10th 1918 and seems to have had a natural ability to understand and relate to young children from a very early age. “I knew by the time I was 8 years old I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician”, he said in an interview. “I had to take care of 8 cousins every Sunday while my parents were inside, and I had to learn how to get inside these children’s brains in order to handle 8 small children for about 4 hours. So I learned very early on how to do it and learned how exciting it was. My grandmother would come out and say, ”Oh Berry, you’re wonderful with children,” and it was very exciting to get that kind of praise. I knew then I wanted to grow up and be a doctor, a pediatrician”.
