- GREAT for first time parents especially!
This book was terrific!!! It really reinforced what I already suspected. It was very helpful in helping me to be able to defend my expectations to others who disagreed. I wish I could have given it to my sister before she had their kids. I'm also considering sending it to my sister-in-law. As the title says, EVERY new mom should read this. (And dads should all read the one for fathers! :))

- Strong advice
Absolutely would not recommend this book to a new mother. Very strong and rigid in their ideals. If you're not breastfeeding or are not able too, the author makes a new mother feel like a failure or something's wrong with her for not wanting too to begin with. Also has strong feelings about sharing a bed with your child, among other things, that if you do not feel you want to do, again only a good parent would!?? Think twice and read up on this book before giving it for a gift, or reading as a new mother.

- Lovely book by a loving, experienced mother of 8
I love this book--I just read it, and I have three children. In this sweet little book, Martha Sears explains in easy-to-read terms the basic ways mothers of infants go about establishing a natural, loving relationship where both individuals' needs are met without creating a tug-of-war environment (which is common these days). Throughout the book, she and her husband, "Dr. Bill," encourage moms (and dads) to enjoy their baby, respect that their children are people with physical AND emotional needs from the day they are born, and lend support to the emotional needs and changes that a mother goes through after having a new baby. There are practical applications throughout, and it's a nice introduction to helping mothers set a firm foundation for the new relationship that is taking shape.

I have been reading for two years on the science and scientific research behind a secure, heathy bond/attachment between ... Read More

- Wonderful shower gift or gift for new mom!
A friend of mine gave me this cute little book shortly after I had my first baby, and I have really enjoyed dipping into it for short shots of gentle wisdom, inspiration, and advice. It's perfect for a new mom because the chapters are informative but really short--no huge time commitment required. There are 25 chapters--each with a title that's a "thing" that's helpful for moms to realize, like "You can solve breastfeeding problems," "You really do have intuition," "You don't have to be perfect," and "If you go back to work, you'll still be the person most important to your baby." Then the chapter has some information and practical advice related to that topic. For example, the chapter on going back to work includes the great idea of starting back to work on a Thursday instead of a Monday, so your first "week" is very short and easier for both mom and baby to deal with.
One more thing: the book is small and lightweight, ... Read More
