Product Description
Product Description
For ages, women around the world have practiced what we now call "attachment parenting": childbearing and rearing styles that reinforce the tender bond between a mother and her child. In these collected essays, more than forty amazing women come together to share research, insights, and personal experiences on attachment parenting, homebirth, breastfeeding, medical circumcision, co-sleeping, and baby wearing. Contributors include well-known motherhood authors Rachel Gathercole, Jan Hunt, and Sarah Buckley, MD, whose articles have informed and educated audiences worldwide. These mothers' stories underscore the growing significance of attachment parenting in our highly medicalized birth culture, and offer a look at the natural alternatives.

earnest. very earnest.,
By audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loving Mama: Essays on Natural Parenting and Motherhood (Paperback)
I enjoyed these essays written by mothers practicing attachment parenting (AP) techniques, but I thought it was way too earnest and quite humorless. I think I would really have enjoyed this book more if I were pregnant or a brand new mom and unfamiliar with principles of AP, so if that's you, this is definitely worth a shot. I thought I would enjoy it as a mother who had, like these women, had the joy of discovering that there was another, better, way to raise my children, but I found it to be too humorless and repetitive to be truly enjoyable. Short, two to three page, articles detail the experience of a new mother, frazzled, trying to follow traditional ideas of parenting, finding a better way, and everyone being mostly happy afterward.

Mama Loves It!,
By Miria (Warren, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loving Mama: Essays on Natural Parenting and Motherhood (Paperback)
If you're reading this review, buy this book! I'm no stranger to parenting books, articles, and magazines; Loving Mama, with its beautiful front cover, is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites. It's such a warm welcome to the world of attatchment parenting that even new/expectant parents who might not have planned to breastfeed, co-sleep or even have a home birth (!) may very well be convinced to follow some of the birth and parenting philosophies found here. I encourage you to sit down with a mug of hot tea and this book during your child's next nap. You'll feel like you've just joined a nurturing, supportive, and loving mothers' group.

Loving Papa...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Loving Mama: Essays on Natural Parenting and Motherhood (Paperback)
What a fantastic collection of essays from an amazing group of women. Tiffany Palisi has done a wonderful job bringing together real mothers with real stories of natural parenting. A must read for any mother (or father) interested in this method.
