The New Baby Planner/a Guide for Christian Parents

Rating:
Summary: Geared only toward breastfeeding stay-at-home moms!
Review: This Christian-published book is insulting to women who cannot stay at home and who cannot breastfeed. The basic premise of bonding ("attachment parenting") is a good one but the authors take the idea far beyond what is normal or reasonable. They suggest allowing your child to sleep with you until age two or three and that you should always be available to breastfeed because it is a mother's duty! These ideas are ludicrous in today's society in which most mothers are no longer homebound 24/7. This book is a poor excuse for a childcare source, even for practicing Christian mothers such as myself.
