Product Details

Product Description

Review

Culturally sensitive, thoroughly researched, clearly presented, this book fills an enormous gap in literature on women's health. -- Penny Simkin, founder, Doulas of America

Few works address the needs of the new mother during the first 12 months of her child's life. Mothering the New Mother is designed to fill that gap. -- Ways of Caring, published by La Leche League International

Thoroughly well-written and very much needed. -- Booklist

Book Description

The nine chapters in this comprehensive guide include resources, networks, information, stories and advice to nurture, validate and empower the new mother, whether she is having her first baby or her third. Drawn from three years of research and the author's own experience, each chapter is filled with the practical suggestions and hands-on solutions provided by doctors, nurses, midwives, other caregivers, and over 100 new mothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource and comfort, April 22 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Mothering the New Mother: Women's Feelings & Needs After Childbirth: A Support and Resource Guide (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent comfort, as well as a great practical resource. The book sensitively and honestly addresses the wide range of emotions I experienced after my child's birth--many of these emotions I didn't expect, and some scared me. I recommend this book to any expectant parent--I found it reassuring to turn to for support.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding info and support for new mothers!, Oct 2 2000

This review is from: Mothering the New Mother: Women's Feelings & Needs After Childbirth: A Support and Resource Guide (Paperback)
This book really helped me after the birth of my first child. So much info and support for all the things that nobody prepares you for. All the birth prep focuses on the actual birth, nothing for the feelings and challenges afterwards as a new Mom. This book does that. Especially helpful to me was the section on PPD.

Read it, before you need it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of postpartum needs, May 6 2007
By Lauren Ross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mothering the New Mother: Women's Feelings & Needs After Childbirth: A Support and Resource Guide (Paperback)
As a new mom and as a therapist specializing in postpartum issues, I highly recommend this book. It's an excellent resource for families expecting a baby, covering important topics such as postpartum depression and anxiety, building a support network, and how to plan for the postpartum period in order to make a smooth transition into parenthood.
