Dr Lennart Righardt

This morning I was able to talk on the phone to Lennart Righardt, the Swedish paediatrician who has been promoting breastfeeding and normal birth for many years. Lennart was in Sydney, as part of a 5 month long round-the-world holiday he is enjoying now that he has retired.

I first met Lennart many years ago when he attended an Active Birth workshop in London, and we discovered we had many beliefs and concerns in common. Later, when he visited Sydney to see his daughter who lives here with her family, we also had time together discussing mutual concerns and sharing ideas.

Lennart has produced a CD with music and spoken word that is designed for expectant parents to listen to as they prepare for the birth of their baby. He has also made a video on delivery self attachment that shows how a baby can crawl to the breast and latch by itself (if necessary) and the way that drugs given to women during birth block this natural instinct and may therefore delay the initiation of breastfeeding. All very interesting. The video Breastfeeding: The Baby’s Choice also from Sweden, is very similar.

Lennart has always been a champion for natural birth and now that he has retired, his input will be missed. I wish him well for a peaceful life (and feel envious of the ability to take a 5 month holiday in interesting parts of the world!)
