This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it be on the "registry" of every new mom. It makes a great baby shower gift! Easy to read ~ it reinforces the parenting philosophies of the Sears's: trust your instincts ~ you are the expert on your baby. It touches on many topics including bonding, breastfeeding, babywearing, etc. but not in an overwhelming way which makes it the perfect intro to attachment parenting concepts!
