Trust Your Body, Trust Your Baby: How learning to listen changes everything

Description

A new mother's journey is an deeply personal and individual one. Yet all too often outside influences can cloud her innate judgement, causing confusion, doubt and unhappiness. In Rosie Newman's new book Trust Your Body, Trust Your Baby, she raises the revolutionary possibility that every mother already knows what she needs to know. Exploring ideas from other cultures, from new science and from the past, Rosie uncovers universal truths that are at once liberating and reassuring. This book hands the power back to the reader, providing the tools and information that parents need to make their own choices, to trust their instincts and believe in their babies. Rosie demonstrates how she found letting go and listening transformed the toughest, most important job in the world, into one that was satisfying, empowering and fun.

Rosie Newman is a full time mother of two boys. She has supported other mothers in her community through her roles as co-chair of her local Maternity Service Liaison Committee and as a breastfeeding peer supporter.

It contains lots of fascinating detail, insights from other cultures and well-researched information on topics ranging from birth positions, sleep training and elimination communication.
