Book Description
The first few weeks and months after a baby's birth can be a wonderful and confusing
time. While trying to discover the best ways to care for their child, new (and
experienced) mothers often neglect their own health. It is essential, however,
that mothers pay as much attention to their own wellness as they pay to their
baby's health and happiness during this crucial time. In a completely revised
and updated edition of AFTER THE BABY'S BIRTH, childcare and women's-wellness
expert Robin Lim guides mothers through the best methods of mother and baby postpartum
care, including parental nurturing, breastfeeding, the role of the father, nutrition,
and early sensory education. Focusing on natural and wholesome practices, AFTER
THE BABY'S BIRTH is a sensitive, practical guide to post-pregnancy health.
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A comprehensive guide to dealing with a phase of childbirth
that usually garners only a chapter in other books on preparing
for the big event. Well written, and researched while the
author was pregnant with her fourth child, this book is
full of common sense and practical suggestions for dealing with the major changes
in a woman's body and life in the postpartum period. Although some readers
may be put off by the references to Indian and Far Eastern
words and philosophies, the overall gentleness and sagacity
make this a very suitable purchase for libraries. Highly
recommended.
