5.0 out of 5 stars This book is just like Robin herself, Dec 3 2002

This review is from: After the Baby's Birth... A Woman's Way to Wellness: A Complete Guide for Postpartum Women (Paperback)

The author of this book caught my first son in the summer of 2000. Just like her, the book is warm, caring, thorough, and entirely unhurried. Some of the elements of eastern spirituality may not resonate with followers of western religions, but there is nothing I found offensive. The revised edition (2001) offers particularly good help with breastfeeding and natural family planning. It felt really good to read this book while I was postpartum--I felt understood, and it was great to be "with" Robin again, even though she was hours away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable for the New Mother, Dec 3 2000

By

Amy Lemmon Bowen (Astoria, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: After the Baby's Birth... A Woman's Way to Wellness: A Complete Guide for Postpartum Women (Paperback)

I discovered this book when my son was nearly 2 months old, and wish I'd had it BEFORE he was born! It is extremely helpful for the first-time mom, giving encouragement and advice that even the most well-meaning friends and relatives might forget. I especially appreciated the chapter on eating, which includes a lot of good thoughts about body image (i.e., adjusting your expectations after becoming a mom). After reading it I sent a copy to my younger sister, whose first baby was born 3 months after mine.

I hope the publisher reprints it (and maybe invites the author to update it) so more mamas can benefit from Robin Lim's wisdom!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for, Mar 21 2000

This review is from: After the Baby's Birth... A Woman's Way to Wellness: A Complete Guide for Postpartum Women (Paperback)

This book is a terrific wellness resource and comfort. It isn't the book for you if what you need now is a medical guide for postpartum symptoms. It has lots of useful info on how-to feel your best.
