Excellent read!

If you have ever wondered about midwifery, giving birth at home, cloth diapers or baby led weaning, this book is for you. I bought this book for my expectant friend and she loved it. Although some may feel these topics are a bit alternative, this book shows you how to implement them to save money and simplify your life with your new baby. Highly recommend for any expectant or new parents!

Informative

This is a great guide for new parents. It'll help you with things you might not have thought of going in and shows you how to navigate the issues that occur. I knew nothing about midwives before starting this book... If you're a nervous first-time parent, give this book a listen. Great tips.

Practical Parenting

From pregnancy to baby food, this book offers practical approaches to parenting. The suggestions consider safety for the baby and convenience for the mom. You could save time and money by reading this book.

Very good information

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The author talks about midwives, home births, breast feeding, and much more, A midwife should have supplies such as Pitocin, and oxygen, and know when to seek help. You can order supplies for home births, in a kit on line. That is new information to me. There is information on cloth diapers, weaning, and infant pottying, which is not mainstream. She talks of how to help a baby pass gas. I wish I had known that when my daughter had colic! I bought this book as a paperback to give to my pregnant niece. That is how great this book is.

A great read for expecting parents!

I hadn’t heard of most of the unconventional baby care methods in this book but the clear explanations and examples made these concepts so relatable and approachable! I highly recommend this to new and expecting parents. Even if you decide some of these methods aren’t for you, it’s great to know what’s out there and what your options are.

Informative

Very informative on birth and newborn care, and easy to understand. Gives new parents useful information without information overload. Clear narration.

Tons of great information!

This book does a great job of highlighting a vast amount of information surrounding birth and babies, which traditionally is thought of as hippy or not normal when in reality it is totally normal! For our second child, my wife chose to go with the much more natural home-birth and it was extremely eye-opening for us both. After dealing with a hospital and the stress associated with nurses and doctors with our first son, my wife chose to do a home birth and hire a midwife. It was a night and day difference, we were able to have our second brought into a peaceful home with extremely experienced midwives that were amazing! Everything in this book is a great overview of a different way to raise a child. We also did baby-wearing, bed-sharing, and my wife breastfed our first for two years and our second for a year, both with baby-led weaning. The relationship they have with her is very close and we wouldn't ever want it any different.

Great for those expecting and new parents!

What a great, informative book! I learned more about having a midwife during the birthing process. The differences between using cloth and disposable diapers. The info on potty training was also a plus! I think this would be a great gift for anyone expecting and also new parents!

Recommended For New Moms

I love how the author kept reminding to personalize the Birthing experience. It is really up to you to curate your own experience! This book is a great resource to focus on some of the basic yet often overlooked information when you’re a new parent.
I highly recommend this book.

Great book!

Great book with lots of practical advice and information! Extremely helpful especially for new moms! I would highly recommend it! Didn't like the background noise of the narrator but otherwise great book!
