7 Secrets of the Newborn: Secrets and (Happy) Surprises of the First Year by Sally Collings, Robert C. Hamilton

2.0

This was recommended on a podcast and there are some gems, although nothing completely revelatory. There is also some outdated stuff in here, which the podcast host acknowledged—definitely ignore the part about what to do in the hospital and what your partner should do during birth. There’s also just a little bit of old school gender roles in here, not in the early days but in the later assumption of care. And also in women’s ability to just negotiate for more leave. The nearly religious bits also got me, but if those kings don’t turn you off, Dr Hamilton recommends some good ways to soother you’re newborn and to relax and love your newborn without making yourself crazy in the early days.
