From Tracy:
The Bible of natural birth by the woman who helped keep these practices alive and has shown the world exactly how competent women are when properly supported.
From Tracy:
Dr. Bloom is excellent at translating psychological research on children for the masses and in this installment he looks at how we view morality. It is fascinating as long as you remember that even our psychological research can be steeped in culture.
From Tracy
The follow-up to Our Babies, Ourselves, Dr. Small takes on how culture and biology interact in our parenting of children. Again, so much of what we take for granted as “normal” in raising kids is really anything but.
From Tracy:
A must-read to truly understand the evolution of motherhood and shared care through the lens of our unique childhood. Of course the book goes beyond to argue that this unique need of humans to rely on others has also led to our unique capacity to understand others. Truly eye-opening.
From Tracy:
One of my favourites because although it doesn’t cover how to’s like some of these books, it is an unflinching, honest account of the many struggles families face when breastfeeding in a culture that is neither supportive nor understanding. A must-read for anyone interested in supporting breastfeeding families.
