Nothing new here

It’s a long winded rant about trauma, mostly his own. After hearing him interviewed on a podcast I was excited to listen but it’s a big disappointment.

I find brain science fascinating and this story is no exception. So vulnerable and moving.

The book I’ve been searching for

Revisado: 04-08-21

I’ve been caught up in family drama and turmoil for years some of it initiated by me. This book has really helped me boundaries in my own mind about what I want to claim responsibility for and how to possibly elicit accountability on their part. I found this very insightful. I have no model in my life or how to apologize let alone doing it well. I wish I could send this book to everyone in my family.

Short and Uninformative

Revisado: 02-10-21

Heavy on the feminism.
It’s a short story about a few of her clients and herself with mother issues that are far from universal.
I am extremely turned off by her inclusion of women towards the end who aren’t mothers where she isn’t talking about their experience as daughters. If you haven’t raised a baby you have no clue what real mothers struggle with.

Kate Winslet does an amazing job. My young children loved it! I’m sure they wish I could make all their books sound so entertaining.

Really use full tips you can put into action

Revisado: 06-09-18

I love the content of this book. Thank you Kimberly for writing this! It’s so sad that Americans have lost the generational knowledge of birth. I’m pregnant with my third child and finally seeking out the help and support I will need once the baby arrives. I went straight back to work after my first two with whom I had traumatic hospital births with and felt like I was a rockstar for doing so. Wow, how wrong was I for buying into society’s and feminist’s ideas of what it means to have it all and do it all. This time I’m looking forward to a healing birth with wise midwives in at a birthing center.

I love this book and hope it’s given to every mom at her baby shower with a offer to bring her a meal or clean her house post baby instead of all the meaningless gadgets and onesies and hospital room selfies.

Her message about how moms need to be mothered is so real. I felt that deeply with my first child but had no idea what to ask for or how to put it into words.

I'm pregnant with a little boy and found this very useful. I also found it useful for understanding my husband better. I will be recommending that my husband read this as well as many of my friends.

terrible audio boring story

Revisado: 09-25-15

I listen to my audio books in the car and this one has me constantly turning it up and down because the narrator whispers and then yell and then whispers and then yell it is very frustrating. this story is redundant of other tales boring an uneventful.

Great for new parents wondering how it all works.

If you could sum up On Becoming Babywise in three words, what would they be?

Get on schedule.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book as a soon to be mother. I wanted how-to steps on breastfeeding and this outlined them very carefully. I will listen to it again because there is a lot to remember.
