To get my sister-in-law as her boyfriend and her are going to start TTC soon.
I would like the book to be a bit biast if I am honest lol....I would like it to include:
Benefits and importance of breastfeeding - not just from a nutritional point of view but the whole picture. I would like this backed up with...you know...'proof'. People like to see reasearch, etc lol
Benefits and importance of co-sleeping - not just from a practicle point of view but the whole picture. I would also like this backed up with good old 'proof'...you know how people are.
Bonuses would be basic information on things like vaccines, etc. This doenst have to be biast information, but whole truths would be nice.
And most importantly - becaues of the way or western society is...I would like the book to stress the importance of a naturally gained independence in our children. Most books on babies and such stress how important it is to push our babies to independence...becaues dont you know, we will only make rods for our backs if we dont and they will never be independent otherwise!... I want the book to talk about things like CIO and why it is bad and you should never ever do it. I want it to dispell the myths. A breastfed child who is allowed to self wean will not still be breastfeeding at 15...neither will they still be sleeping in the family bed at 15 if they are allowed there in the first place...of course, backed up with research and proof!...
And all...easy to read please...lol
Dr. Sears is coming to mind - but I have never read any of his books so I am asking all of you to recommend a good one to get!
That and a good sling will be my gift to her. I couldnt have asked for a better gift myself!...shame I never got such a gift! lol Hopefully, if all goes to plan, she wont stumble as much as I did and have fewer regrets.
Thanks
