I read this book while breastfeeding my baby in bed. Since I am a working mother, who found it extremely difficult to combine work and nursing, I found this book absolutely helpful. It had great advice on most pressing nursing issues and also lifted up my spirits and confidence. A must read for all nursing working mothers.

This book is a "must have" for any nursing mommas going back to work and hoping to continue the breastfeeding relationship. I wish I had had this book when my first daughter was born and I went back to work. I felt so alone in my extremely challenging endeavor of pumping and working. If I had had this book, I would have felt supported, vindicated, inspired, and most of all, would have had the collective wisdom of other women who've learned how to make it work.

I now plan to buy this book for all my friends who are having babies and planning to continue their careers out of the home. I would also recommend Working Without Weaning but if you're only going to buy one book, this one will tell you most everything you need and it's so darn affordable! It's also well written and backed up by research.

Hurray for a couple of super-moms who managed to pump AND work AND somehow find time to write a book! Most books are written by stay-at-home moms who could never understand the pump/work dynamic. (No offense to them but even my local LLL leader couldn't help me because she has never experienced working out of the home 40 hrs/wk, away from her baby, dealing with pumping and storing milk and all the rest.

This book covers everything from starting the breastfeeding relationship on the right foot, introducing bottles, buying the right pump, negotiating time/space with your employer, sleep-deprivation, anxiety about being separated from your baby, the challenge of juggling career and family priorities, the challenge of being perceived as "less productive" at work now that you're juggling everything else. It has a nice balance of informative narrative from the authors, interspersed between the journal entries of the "Milk Mamas" group sharing the lactation room at IBM. I wish I had colleagues in my workplace to share this kind of journal with but reading their comments made me feel like I was not alone in my struggles.

Unlike other books I encountered, this book does not start from the premise that new moms should consider quitting their job or giving up their careers. It starts with the understanding that you are going back to work, either by choice or necessity, and aims to give you all the tools you need to successfully continue providing your baby with breastmilk for as long as you want to. Towards the end, it addresses the potential alternatives such as flex schedules, part time work, or putting your career on hold. But it doesn't start off making you feel like you're a bad mother if you go back to work.

Now that I've read this book (and a couple others), I just know I'm going to be more successful with pumping and working this time around with my second baby. In retrospect, it helped me see that I actually did a pretty good job the first time around (100% breastmilk until 6 months; daughter weened herself at 9 months when my milk supply dried up). I just felt like such a failure and like I lacked the kind of support I needed.

Definitely buy this book NOW and read it cover to cover if you are going to be a working mom! You'll enjoy and appreciate it.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Amazon, but this is the first item I'm reviewing, because I really liked this item. Being a working mom is tough in so many ways and this book shows us that there are alot of women who are experiencing the same feelings as I am experiencing or have experienced before. Pumping can be such a tedious task, but most of us are doing it just for the sake of our little ones. Pumping at work is no fun at all, but seeing the comradery these women shared inspired me to seek the same sort of support circle in my own company. Also, this book shows us that there are different ways of doing things (timing of weaning, etc.) and there are different viewpoints on being a working mom...and that there are lots of options for working moms -- and that you just have to go after it once you've analyzed your options. This book is a good resource and it's funny, too. I highly reccommend it!

This book gave me a new perspective on continuing to breastfeed after my 2nd child was born. I was back to work at 6 weeks, and this provided a laugh and tremendous insight to how people pull mommyhood, pumping and executive roles off! Also an easy read and only took a few subway rides to finish!

I'm expecting my fifth child, so I've got a bit of experience with raising young children. I bought this book when my first was born and it is the only book that I have kept over the years and still consult.

The thing about this book is that it offers practical, sensible advice while helping you understand what is actually going on with your child developmentally, so that the advice makes sense. White has years of research and observation to call on, and his advice is sound and founded on this research. The book is broken up into various stages by age, and presented in logical sections.

This is not a book aimed at any particular developmental issue or problem, but paints a general picture of how babies develop under normal circumstances. He offers practical advice on how to help your baby's development relevant to their developmental stage, though there is no particular emphasis on pushing your child to reach any specific potential. Rather, you are encouraged to understand what will help baby most while being reassured that variance in level of development is normal.

Some issues that are covered in this book that I have found helpful were sibling rivalry, what toys to buy (and which to avoid), and how to effectively and humanely discipline very small children as well as teaching them to go to sleep on their own.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone with a new baby, and suggest getting it as soon as possible. You don't need to read it cover to cover, but can read each stage as your baby approaches it.

Excellent Buy!

We have raised an unspoiled, intelligent and well behaved 5 year old that proves that recommendations and techniques from this book really work. We always get compliments from friends, family and even strangers on how well behaved our kid is. We are reviewing again as our 1 yr old grows. There is no magic formula to parenting, and sure, you may need to adjust a thing or two based on your value systems, heritage and personal preferences but two things I can assure: Love has no substitute for what's best for your children and this book is a great buy. We actually have bought 4 copies as gifts for friends who are new to parenting

During a visit to my parent's house about 6 weeks into my son's life, my father presented me with his 30 year old copy of this book. Clearly it had made such an impression on him while he was raising me, that he had not only kept it, but remembered it when it was my turn to raise my first child. After reading the What to Expect series, Dr. Sears, Dr. Spock, and other various finds studiously like textbooks while I was pregnant (highlighting, note-taking, comparing ideologies), I found this book refreshing, simple, honest and captivating. The "rules" are so commonsensical they may seem at first like a waste of time. But the author discusses the reasons why babies and young children do the things they do and need their basic needs in a way that makes you feel like you can really see the world through your child's eyes. It is a delightful read and many times brought tears to my eyes as the lightbulb went off above my head and I could see how simple raising a child can be. My son is 7 months now and this book has never left the side of my bed. I re-read it frequently as he develops just to re-center myself when the stresses of parenthood ever seem too weighty.

When I was pregnant with my daughter - there was a lot of worry since this was my first child. Obviously, children do not come with a manual! I bought and read this book and used it constantly as a referral. Our daughter is happy, polite, shares, intelligent, kind, etc. She is constantly invited to parties and restaraunts that other childdren are not invited to. After meals at restaraunts, the managers/owners come and comment on what a well-behaved child she is. She does have many friends and can get along with varied personalities. We purchase this book for all new parents - and they read it stating they would like a child that is as polite and respectful (of others and their properties) as our daughter is. You really cannot go wrong in purchasing this book!!

This book is perfectly written, gives a reading pleasure, a very good historical review of attachment theory. But if you want something more technical this may be not suitable for you. I'll advise this book as a good start for anyone who wants to get familiar with attachment.

A very fine treatment of the subject, useful in work with adults as well as with children. And for another fascinating book

I recommend That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Rako's book is remarkably candid, brilliantly insightful, and wonderfully wel-written. It's a great read. The writing just flows.

Book Review on "Becoming Attached"

This is an amazing book which was recommended to me by a friend who works in Child Protection - the parents of the children have mental health issues which range from learning disabilities to more extreme personality disorders. She sees babies and toddlers who have been abused through neglect; absence of communication; verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The children suffer a range of disorders from the physical to mental, emotional and social as a result, yet all have degrees of attachment to their abusers, ambivalent attachment and codependency and the patterns of how they are likely to develop are easy to see manifesting in the child that will become the adult if there is no early intervention, if the relationships were to continue between child and parent and if there is a lack of awareness or ability as a growing adult to consciously make efforts to change habitual patterns. This book covers all of these themes. Moreover in the seemingly relatively normal upbringing of a child and then the adult who looks retrospectively at their own childhood and their present relationship with their own children similar issues arise which affect their ability or capacity to love or show an ability to love. This book causes one to self-reflect, analyse and ponder quite deeply how we love because of how we were loved or what we understood or perceived love to be.

I just finished this book about two weeks ago and I want to read it again. Although the book at times is a little technical, it is perfect for anyone interested in understanding people. Although the book is primarily about child development, Robert Karen adds amazing insights throughout that are absolutley mind boggling. I would highly recommend this to everyone because you will not only understand others, but you will understand yourself. Absolutely love it!

I'm about 2/3 of the way through this, and I must say: I am very impressed. You can learn a lot more from this book about childrearing and how to bring children up to be secure, confident adults that you can from most of the pop psychology and parenting books which present the fad of the day or some catchy opinion that has not been backed up by scientific research. Karen has a rare combination of professional expertise, a wide command of the extensive literature relating to early childhood including psychoanalytic, a real gift for writing, and a willingness to not dodge difficult issues and to be entirely forthright with the reader, without ever underestimating the intelligence of the reader to grapple with the issues he brings up and form their own conclusions. The book does get a bit dense towards the middle, including info that the layperson probably wouldn't want to bother with, but he never loses the narrative thread and I kept reading and learning and being grateful he did such a thorough and well-reasoned job of presenting all this material.

This is a great book for new parents--especially when you need to learn quickly. My husband and I got the call that we had been picked by the birth mom of a little boy who was already 2 days old. We had to pack up and head to the hospital and I needed information about being a parent.

Since we had experienced a few years of infertility treatment, I wasn't too optimistic about our chances of becoming parents anytime soon. Therefore, I had not been reading up on parenting/what to expect. I bought this book at my local book store (for more $ than Amazon, unfortunately)and found it very helpful. Information is easy to find--we referred to it frequently in the first few weeks of being parents and then here and there when things came up. I gave it to my sister now that she has had a baby---she has found it very helpful, too.

I can't imagine any topic in the first year that isn't covered in this big, fat book. I love that it is direct and to the point. I don't have to wade though lots of chatter to get what I need. If my baby has a fever it explains how to handle it without going into the history of fevers!

Common issues are all covered as well as more unusual things, such as car seat crying, taking your baby to a restaurant, traveling with your baby, and dealing with unwanted advice. No matter your style, this book gives good information and is very, very easy to use with an ABC arrangement. Highly recommended!

Review Date: 2008-07-06
This is NOT just for moms who plan to breastfeed two, but ALSO for breastfeeding moms who might get pregnant while breastfeeding. I could have used it earlier in my 2nd pregnancy, but I waited until I couldn't wean my first. Great information on how it affects contractions and it helps to affirm that breastfeeding while you're pregnant is just fine. A few tips for positioning and lots of stories so you know you are not alone. I'm still tandem nursing after 14 months at it! Plus nine if you count in-utero time. Might sound strange to some, but you find yourself doing things different than you might think once you're the mom.

This book really helped me sort out what was best for our family when I was pregnant while nursing a 2-year-old. What I liked about the book is that it is, as much as possible, based on research rather than opinion. So many health care professionals advise their pregnant patients to wean their nurslings, regardless of age, when this advice is completely unsupported by evidence. I also was very grateful for the non-judgmental tone of this book. She acknowledges that there is no one approach for every family, but without downplaying the vital importance of breastfeeding for as long as mother and baby wish to. I'd recommend this book for any mother who is pregnant or has a baby while nursing an older child.

I bought this when I got pregnant and was still nursing my almost-two-year-old. It's nicely written with entertaining illustrations and lovely pictures of many tandem nursers. It made me feel like whatever I decided was okay, and whether I end up weaning before the birth, nursing two on demand, nursing one on demand and one to schedule, or even if he starts up again after weaning once the baby comes, it's all been done before and it's all doable.

I wasn't overly impressed by any of the ones I saw, so I dug this out instead, figuring I could at least get a little heads up on what to expect in terms of nursing (like everyone else posting reviews, I've got a nursing toddler and am pregnant; having gotten thru the worst of the soreness, I don't expect weaning soon). In the event, this book offers a nice overview of other impacts on the family of adding a new baby to the mix: sleep issues, routines, keeping the toddler happy while the newborn has you fully occupied, etc. And unlike some of the other second-child books, this one is firmly focused on attachment parenting/co-sleeping/extended nursing/etc.

Flowers' narrative voice is pleasant without wasting your time. As with all too many books about breastfeeding, the format is a little large for holding comfortably while nursing. The voices of many, many mothers who have Already Been There are included within a structure that lets you look up an answer to a question you have quickly.

My 10-12 months old boys love to hear the story before they go to bed. The part where the baby cries, when he can't find the binky, gets special attention from them, and the good ending finishes the story well and directs them to bed. I truely feel that they understand and like the story line, as they can identify with it, which is amazing for 10 months old babies.

Review Date: 2008-08-18
I am so grateful to Dr. Vartabedian for writing this book. I have two children who have reflux. The first is 5 years old and when he was an infant, Zantac was the only drug our pediatrician was willing to prescribe. It didn't work very well, but took the edge off for him and we struggled for years with the sleep issues that resulted from him being in so much pain as an infant.

When our second child came along, now 9 weeks old, and his reflux was WORSE--showing up on the day of his birth, no less--I knew I was going to need more help than our pediatrician had offered the first time. I went online to do research and stumbled across this book. It offers commonsense help and experience. The nearest pediatric gastro is 1 hour away from us and our baby screams from the moment we put him in the carseat to the moment we take him out. Being able to take this book to our (new and more openminded) pediatrician to discuss treatment options was critical to his care.

We are about to try our third reflux medication because the first two simply did not offer much relief to our son who seems to be on the extreme end of spectrum. Without all this good information about treatment options and approaches to positioning etc, we would be in the dark or getting our information from the internet. I would much rather get my information from a health care professional!

Dissemination of this critical information about reflux is so important! I am so angered by the pediatricians who basically patted me on the head and gave me the "colic talk." Telling me to get outside help, go for walks, etc. etc. Outside help isn't always readily available and taking time for ME sounds ludicrous when the reason my baby was crying was because he was in PAIN! These doctors seem to think that they can just call something colic and brush aside your concerns. But anyone in pain deserves relief--adult, child, infant, even pet!

Babies who cry and fuss all day long don't do so for their own entertainment or just to spite their parents. They do so because they are in pain. And it is a pediatricians job to help you manage that pain. All this talk about finding time for me was ridiculous because I would get the break I needed without any outside help, if the baby was more comfortable and I didn't have to hold a screaming baby all day and night too! Babies who are in pain don't sleep very well, or at all--babies who get relief from medication and proper positioning will sleep and moms can get rest then too. That is the real colic solved!

Thank you again, Dr. Vartabedian, for dispelling the myth of colic once and for all and giving moms and babies the power to advocate for themselves!

This is the first review I ever write for a product. When my daughter turned 3 weeks she started being EXTREMELLY fussy. Nothing we did seemed to soothe her and I was tired of people telling me that it would go away once she turned three months or that she could sense my stress/anxiety. I knew something was wrong and that she was in pain. We tried changing formulas and the doctor prescribed medicine for acid reflux. The medicine has helped a lot and now I know it not because she can sense my tension. This is an excellent book to understand what our baby is going through. It has also helped us ask appropriate questions to our pediatrition and explain the condition to others who just don't seem to understand. I highly suggest this book to anyone that has a hard to soothe baby - you will realize that you are not alone and it will help you deal with the situation.

If your baby has "colic" or cries for hours nonstop like they are in pain, this is a MUST read.Our son was born with a handful of GI issues and this book helped us sort through how to address them with the doctors that always seemed to brush him off. It turns out he has serve acid reflux as well as food allergies including milk and soy as discussed in this book. As parents who have not been to med school we still feel lost (and it has been a little over a year) when it comes to the medical specialists on this topic but this book really helped shed some light when we really needed. When a baby is only sleeping for 20 minutes and up all night, something is wrong and parents need answers. Read this book!

This is a good introduction to the problems of acid reflux, stomach motility disorder, and so called "colic." It explains how to determine if your infant has GER or GERD (gastric acid reflux.) It gives you examples/stories of other mother's experiences with their children. It helps you understand the condition and gives you knowledge and good questions that you can take to the pediatrician. It also helps you identify if you need to go see a pediatric GI specialist. I highly recommend it. Quick read as well.

So, before I begin my review of this product, here's our background... our son who is currently 6 weeks has had to be sent to the hospital with gas pains so severe that the emergency room doctors were concerned that he might be trying to pass a kidney stone. Turns out he was allergic to soy, we had tried breast, standard formula and lactose intolerance formula. He had a negative reaction to all (including breast believe it or not, I went through tests also to determine what was in my milk even though I was on a mild diet.... cause was deemed later on to be for a substance need, our baby needed rice formula). So..... we tried just the rice formula with the children's mylicon with the VentAire bottles.... somewhat of an improvement, but our child was still needing to go to the doctor weekly for checkups without much success, our pediatrician would even call us daily to see how he was doing. Constipation was questioned, but was never an issue. Our breakthrough occurred when we took our son to a specialist appointment and the lady asking us if our son had excess gas since she noticed that Mylicon was listed as one of his meds. I stated quickly yes and told her of our ordeal. I was told that she was the grandmother of 5 children and a mother of 3 and had tried EVERYTHING to cure their extreme colic. The remedy they found, Hyland's colic tablets, Dr. Brown's bottles, and rice formula. After the doctor appointment I went to the store to give these products a try....... and it was like an angel had spoken to us. Our child could breathe again and was longer tense in the body, as he was making progress against constantly trying to push. I know that I'm being candid but I am hoping that this will help other parents and children that have been or will be in our situation. We are on day 4 of the product switch and WOW, he's a brand new baby! If these products can help a child who's been hospitalized, hopefully these can help yours as well. Pedialyte also works as well to help calm the tummy. I've been using tylenol every 5 hours (excluding when he sleeps) for the first week and have been continuing to use the Mylicon to help with the surface gas. Burping has never been an issue, but his burps and toots have become louder and more productive, sometimes just shifting him in our arms can help him to expel gas! I'll be making this post in numerous areas in hopes to help people.

Hyland's colic tablets, Dr. Brown bottles, Enfamil AR Lipil, infant's tylenol, gas drops is literally our formula to success.

I bought this book when my daughter was about 8 months old and wish I bought it sooner. It is a fun and playful book that gives parents great ideas for age-appropriate activities for baby. It is perfect for working parents who want to have special, fun activities during their time together or stay at home parents looking for ways to engage their babies. There is always something new to try and everything is geared to your baby's developmental stage. It has also motivated me to become more enthusiastic toward my own yoga practice again. My baby loves these poses.

Great book!

I purchased this a few weeks ago and have been practising the poses for my daughter everyday since it arrived. My 4 mth old loves doing her daily yoga exercise and I have to say that the Magic poses do really work! If you are thinking of buying a yoga book for your baby - let it be this one . It's easy to follow and has different sets of yoga to do at different times of the day.

My baby loves this!

I took the local Itsy Bitsy Yoga class and decided I wanted to create a home routine, so I bought this book. It has been very informative and helpful. I do Itsy Bitsy Yoga with my daughter every morning and she loves it!

I really did not want to like this book

Okay, when I picked this book up, I rolled my eyes and thought, "oh brother." As if there aren't enough things for a baby to learn. But I was curious about the activities that the book would provide so I read through it anyway. I admit I was skeptical from the start. I'll tell you that this book is chock FULL of self promotion and I found that incredibly irritating. More than half of this book is just trying to convince the reader how wonderful yoga is, especially itsy bitsy yoga. Fine. I got it. Yoga is good. Itsy Bitsy Yoga is better. I do understand alot of yoga is the mind set (which is a topic beaten like a dead horse in this book), but I'm gonna tell you, I'm a mom of a toddler and a baby, and I just don't have time for the "tranquility" of yoga. I wish I did, but I don't. I have to be a pretty flexible lady. (no pun intended) I just want some activities I could personally do with my 9 month old and my 2 year old. When you get past all the cheerleading in the book, the activities are terrific. They are personal, and simple, and fun to do. And like the book states (over and over) you can spend as much time as you can afford with the "poses." The book itself is easy to follow and have some terrific tips to add along with the poses (like songs and variations, etc) They have plenty of photos, and the book is divided by major milestones instead of ages. At the end of each chapter is a quick reference of what poses work for whatever situation you are in. That is so handy. I really like this book as a reference guide. This book is meant for children from birth to 24 months, so I took a quick glance into the older tot chapters to see what they were like. When my oldest was between 1 and 2 years I don't think she would've copied what I did, nor would she have done any poses with encouragement, so I checked out how you were supposed to interact with the older set. Alot of the poses for the older kids still have parental interaction (which I think she would've liked) so I think this is a pretty realistic guide on what your child can and would want to do (since kids can be so different). There is nothing extreme (yoga-wise) in this book, and if you can't make your home have a nice tranquil atmosphere, alot of the poses can be done in a playful way. So as much as I don't like the writing in the book, I really liked the poses.

This book is the best book on natural health care for children I've bought and I've bought several. I am really impressed with the "When to call a Doctor Chart". It is easy reading and easy to understand.

This is THE book

Natural Baby and Childcare is a great book for treating conditions in adults as well as children. While I was visiting my daughter and grandchildren, I came down with a cold, and used Dr. Feder's book to treat my symptoms. The A to Z section on treating illnesses was easy to navigate and understand. I appreciated the guidelines on home treatments and found the right homeopathic medicine for my symptoms. I feel that the treatments allowed me to heal quicker and enjoy my time with my family. I would recommend this book to adults too!

The book that will stay by your side for a very long time

As a teacher with my first child, I wanted to be sure to know the best techniques for simulating my little one's mind and helping him through the developmental stages. This book combines research with practical suggestions for developing attention, bonding (for emotional stability and security), and communication. It is written in parent friendly language and the activities are easy to implement. Many of them come naturally to parents and it is great to know that you are already doing the right things to help your child. Reassuring and informative!

Great book for understanding your child's brain development

I had checked the book out from the library, read it, and enjoyed it. I later decided I wanted to have it on hand as a reference as my daughter grew, so I purchased it. It is full of information about brain development and how you can help your child grow. Do not mistake this for a "how to build a Superbaby" book. The key word in the title is "nurture".

This is a great book!!

As a new mom and a kindergarten teacher, I love this book!! I really wanted to know how to take every opportunity to interact with my little one in ways that were beneficial to his development. The book is very reassuring in that as parents we do most of these things already. As an educator, the science information is facinating! I also love that this book is not about teaching your child to read (not a pre-requisite for kindergarten...), but it is about cultivating your child so that they can make the most of their future learning experiences.

Informative & Practical

Simply put -- this is a fabulous book. It has the perfect mix of scientific research and practical easy-to-use suggestions. The author also brings to the book her experiences of a parent to a special needs daughter, providing a compassionate and insightful touch. (Not to fear -- she does not delve into overly personal and sappy anecdotes -- but rather gives the reader further evidence that she really does know of what she speaks.)

There is a lot here for parents of infants to take away. And as someone who is very interested in how the brain learns and develops, I was definitely not disappointed. The book is well researched and the science is explained in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. The organization of the book also makes it a quick reference for those that just want to know "what" to do (and not necessarily all of the "why"'s behind the activities). There are plenty of charts and tables that get right to point and offer quick reminders for parents. A very valuable resource all-around!

Wonderful resource

From the point of view of a new and inexperienced parent, this book is a fabulous find. Some other books espouse the writers opinion on what's best for your child, this one is based on scientific findings on how the brain develops and delivers this information in a very user-friendly and entertaining manner. It's just very well done.
