Frederick Leboyer error[edit]

I do not know anything about how to edit Wikipedia entries. I just want someone to know that there is an error in the entry about Dr. Frederick Leboyer. The entry says that his book, Birth Without Violence was responsible for popularizing water birthing. That is incorrect. It was Dr. Michel Odent's book, Birth Reborn, that was responsible for popularizing "water birthing", a process in which the MOTHER is in the water to give birth. Dr. Leboyer's book was responsible for popularizing "gentle birthing", a process which included putting the BABY in a warm water bath immediately after birth, to help to relax him.

you seem to have managed that pretty well for someone who does not know how to edit an entry... --5telios (talk) 09:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
