guilt in the age of natural parenting

Dr. Tuteur--Harvard-trained OB-GYN, prominent blogger, and author of the classic How Your Baby Is Born--delivers an expos? on the natural parenting movement and the multimillion-dollar industry behind it. A medical professional with a long career in obstetrics and gynecology as well as the mother of four children, Dr. Tuteur is no stranger to the pressures and feelings of blame and self-condemnation that mothers experience during their children?s early years. She contends that the natural parenting movement is not helping parents raise their children better, but instead capitalizing on their uncertainty. She chronicles the movement?s history from its roots to its modern practices, incorporating her own experiences as a mother and OB-GYN with original research on the latest in childbirth science, and reveals the dangerous and overtly misogynistic motives of some of its proponents. Dr. Tuteur debunks the guilt-inducing myths of natural birth and parenting, encourages women to embrace the method of childbirth that is right for them, and seeks to reassure all parents that the most important thing they can do is love and care for their children. --, Adapted from publisher description
