The Award-Winning Resource Recommended by Experts & Loved by Parents
Parents love this book
because it puts them in control by explaining a wide range of options,
information, and questions to ask, so parents can find what works best
for their health situation, personal goals, and priorities.
Experts love this book
because it’s based on the latest medical research and recommendations
from leading health organizations. It’s practical—rooted in the
real-life experiences of new families. The five authors bring a combined
total of 150 years of experience working with expectant and new
families as educators, nurses, counselors, doulas, physical therapists,
and lactation consultants. They have attended hundreds of births, heard
thousands of birth stories, and assisted innumerable new parents in
adapting to their new lives. Not only that, the authors have a combined
total of 12 children and 12 grandchildren. All of this experience allows
them to write with compassion, understanding, and wisdom based on what
really works in the real-world of parenting.
The companion website
offers even more details on select subjects, including lists of all the
best resources on each topic and worksheets to guide parents’
decision-making process. The website also includes a bonus chapter on
pre-conception, which provides ways to improve your health and fertility
before pregnancy begins.
