Showing results for "Feed" in Motherhood

As a busy mother of six, Laura Bennett is on an impossible mission: raising a brood of fast-moving, messy, wild sons (and one happily civilized daughter) in the jungles of Manhattan. What other choice does she have than to sit back, grab a martini, and let the boys be—er—boys? In Didn't I Feed You Yesterday?, Laura gives her irreverent take on modern motherhood and proves that a strong sense of humor and an even stronger self of self-care are the mother's milk of sanity.

Part memoir, part popular science, and part social commentary, Bottled Up probes breastfeeding politics through the lens of Barston’s own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, The Fearless Formula Feeder. Incorporating expert opinions, medical literature, and popular media into a pithy, often wry narrative, Barston offers a corrective to our infatuation with the breast. Impassioned, well-reasoned, and thoroughly researched, Bottled Up asks us to think with more nuance and compassion about whether breastfeeding should remain the holy grail of good parenthood.
