Summary: The Best Advice I Read When Pregnant with My First Child
Review: This book was exactly what I was looking for! At last a book that regards babies and children as gifts and positive additions to our lives, rather than inconveniences to 'get through' as fast as possible. I intuitively knew that strict schedules and letting the baby "cry it out" didn't seem natural or normal. Sheila Kippley's book confirmed these things for me, and with well-researched reference material!The info on ecological breastfeeding is invaluable, and way different than the supposedly "helpful" info in popular parenting books and magazines. My son is happy, healthy, intelligent and vibrant thanks to the info I received from this book. Baby #2 is due in weeks, and will enjoy all the same benefits!

Summary: Good book, but not a lot of specific info
Review: This is a great book on the subject, but needs more specific info about LAM (lactational amenoreah method of birth control). It doesn't tell you exactly what signs to look for. A good supplement to this book would be "taking charge of your fertility" by toni weschler (sp?). The photo on the cover of the book needs to be updated. ;) The book was updated in the 80's, but the photo is from the 60's. I was under the impression that I was buying an outdated book. It is a great book to read, hopefully it will persuade more women to breast feed longer. It shouldn't be the only book that you read on the subject.

Summary: Useful for SAHM
Review: This is useful a book for stay at home moms or those who can nurse their baby on demand. But it is quite difficult to follow, if not impossible, for working moms. I was hoping that there will be a section for mothers like me who needs an alternative aside from doing the actual nursing but sad to say, it did not provide that.
