Creating and providing interesting and engaging activities and handouts for pregnant families is just one challenge of many for childbirth educators. You want the information you share to be current, useful and affordable.

Finding materials to share with patients, clients or students in your childbirth classes if you are an educator, can often be time consuming and unproductive. Lamaze International has you covered. Lamaze International is an evidence based program that has a multitude of resources for both professionals and parents. While membership in Lamaze allows professionals to access additional resources and products, the Lamaze Printing Store is open to everyone and offers many products that help families to understand and ask for a safe and healthy birth.

In the Lamaze Printing Store, you can find many useful items. There are 12 tear pads of the popular Lamaze International Infographics. Each tear pad contains 50 sheets of high quality, color sheets that you can share with families.

Every Lamaze infographic, available as either a poster or as part of a tear pad, contains current, accurate information and easy to understand language accompanied by engaging images and icons. The entire series is cohesive and coordinated. At the bottom of each sheet, the cited research is included that supports the statements made on that topic. While all of the infographics are available here for viewing and downloading, this is an extremely cost effective way to have them printed and available without a lot of cost or hassle for you.

Today's families deserve evidence based care and they can take the handouts you provide with them to a prenatal appointment to help guide them in asking for and discussing the treatment and care they want.

You can also use these tear sheets during childbirth class activities, to help create engaging and interactive learning tasks that help families to understand how they can have a healthy and safe birth.
