Book Review: 19 years and two healthy children later...
Summary: 5 Stars
hindsight being what it is I would have to say that Sheila's book gave me the courage of my convictions and the reassurance that we are born to do this baby rearing. I spend time on both continents and see very little problem with moms having a little wine or beer while pregnant or nursing~heck, some of the most incredible people I can think of that are between 40-60 had moms that held their cocktail glass in the same hand as their cigarette. NOT that I think either is really a great idea but really, we've gone overboard again in our reactions. Most moms don't have any interest in either alcohol or coffee for that matter when they are pregnant and given the confidence to trust and believe in that is really important. Many european women are brought a beer after childbirth to relax them and help their milk let down. For some it works for some it doesn't but the real issue in my mind is why young moms are being badgered into thinking that there are all of these taboos about something that is as old as we are~think about it! Short of dropping the little darlings on their heads and other really stupid things we do without thinking they really do turn out just fine, healthy and happy and well adjusted if we are. I believe that Sheila gives us a way to look at pregnancy and childbirth in a very wholesome practical manner and it remains my favorite book to give to young moms to be.
