Review # 1 was written on 2009-07-03 00:00:00 Gerard Cassidy Co-authored by a pediatrician and a registered nurse. Coming from an attachment perspective on birthing/parenting through the first year, this book gives a lot of encouragement for parents to follow their instincts. I especially like how it acknowleges multiple times that every child is unique, and therefore the methods that are encouraged by a doctor, well-meaning friend, or other advice-giver should be considered in conjunction with prayer and common sense. Parents are entitled to receive divine help concerning their stewardship. Another valuable point to this book is its positive slant toward the labor and birth process. The co-authors are Christian, and they point out that the Biblical word for "anguish" in childbirth (John 16:21)can also be translated as "pressure." So it is appropriate to regard the process of labor and birth as work, or pressure, but not necessarily something to fear or resist. Pain is NOT an intrinsic part of every labor, but intense sensation is. I also especially like the guidelines for breastfeeding/weaning that are covered in the text, as well as the section on baby-wearing.
