In this slim volume, Martha and William Sears distill the wisdom theyve gleaned from raising eight children and counseling thousands of parents into simple, reassuring advice: Stop trying to do it all. Forget about work for now. Trust yourself; youre the expert on your baby. Wear your baby, and stop wearing out your arms. Keep Dad involved and in love. Enjoy your baby! Omitting most of the trivial details that fill baby-care tomes, this book tells the new mother how to keep her focus on nurturing her baby and herself. It tells her how to develop her intuition, handle unwanted criticism, build a support network, and stay close to her baby after returning to work. It explains why breastfeeding and bed sharing are natural and healthful, and why parents mustnt fear spoiling a baby. An ideal gift for the new mother this book will help her adapt to the ever-changing demands of motherhood, so that she can maintain the empathy and wonder toward her child and some of the inner peace she knew when she first looked into her babys eyes.
