Story
Companion planting is a method that has been used for centuries to help grow food organically. It works by organizing your plants so that they release scents that naturally repel insects, pests, and diseases. It’s a foolproof way to grow delicious, healthy food. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity to source your own food, but it can also bring your family together and teach your kids valuable lessons about agriculture not taught in school. Don’t be the one to miss out. You’ll regret not getting involved in something that is affordable, eco-friendly, and absolutely delicious!

Publisher's summary
Babywearing, elimination communication, and baby-led weaning? What are these things and how might they benefit you?
If you are new to pregnancy and infant care or an old hand at wrangling little ones, this book can help navigate these unconventional methods you might encounter. It’s like a whole other world, so let me break it down.
In this book, you will learn the basics about:
- Midwifery model of care
- Homebirth
- Breastfeeding
- Cloth diapers
- Elimination communication
- Babywearing
- Bed-sharing
- Baby-led weaning
You might feel that these topics are too complicated or too “hippy” for you, and that might be true, but do you really know what goes into infant pottying or cloth diapering? Be informed before writing off these methods. Many may seem to go against the mainstream, but the number of families implementing these strategies are on the rise.
What if you could save time, money, and simplify life with a newborn? If that sounds like something you might be interested in learning, click "buy now"!

Story
Mayim Bialik was the child star of the popular 1990s TV sitcom Blossom, but she definitely didn't follow the typical child-star trajectory. Instead, Mayim got her Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, married her college sweetheart, and had two kids. Mayim then did what many new moms do - she read a lot of books, talked with other parents, and she soon started questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom she heard about the "right" way to raise a child. That's when she turned to attachment parenting.

The heart of many hospitals is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is a place where humanity, ethics, and science collide in dramatic and deeply personal ways as parents, doctors, and nurses grapple with sometimes unanswerable questions: When does life begin? When and how should life end? And what does it mean to be human? Nearly 20 years ago, Dr. John D. Lantos wrote The Lazarus Case, a seminal work on ethical dilemmas in neonatology. He described the NICU as “a strong, strange, powerful place”. The

Excellent read!
If you have ever wondered about midwifery, giving birth at home, cloth diapers or baby led weaning, this book is for you. I bought this book for my expectant friend and she loved it. Although some may feel these topics are a bit alternative, this book shows you how to implement them to save money and simplify your life with your new baby. Highly recommend for any expectant or new parents!

This is a great guide for new parents. It'll help you with things you might not have thought of going in and shows you how to navigate the issues that occur. I knew nothing about midwives before starting this book... If you're a nervous first-time parent, give this book a listen. Great tips.

Very good information
I really enjoyed listening to this book. The author talks about midwives, home births, breast feeding, and much more, A midwife should have supplies such as Pitocin, and oxygen, and know when to seek help. You can order supplies for home births, in a kit on line. That is new information to me. There is information on cloth diapers, weaning, and infant pottying, which is not mainstream. She talks of how to help a baby pass gas. I wish I had known that when my daughter had colic! I bought this book as a paperback to give to my pregnant niece. That is how great this book is.

A great read for expecting parents!
I hadn’t heard of most of the unconventional baby care methods in this book but the clear explanations and examples made these concepts so relatable and approachable! I highly recommend this to new and expecting parents. Even if you decide some of these methods aren’t for you, it’s great to know what’s out there and what your options are.

Tons of great information!
This book does a great job of highlighting a vast amount of information surrounding birth and babies, which traditionally is thought of as hippy or not normal when in reality it is totally normal! For our second child, my wife chose to go with the much more natural home-birth and it was extremely eye-opening for us both. After dealing with a hospital and the stress associated with nurses and doctors with our first son, my wife chose to do a home birth and hire a midwife. It was a night and day difference, we were able to have our second brought into a peaceful home with extremely experienced midwives that were amazing! Everything in this book is a great overview of a different way to raise a child. We also did baby-wearing, bed-sharing, and my wife breastfed our first for two years and our second for a year, both with baby-led weaning. The relationship they have with her is very close and we wouldn't ever want it any different.

Great for those expecting and new parents!
What a great, informative book! I learned more about having a midwife during the birthing process. The differences between using cloth and disposable diapers. The info on potty training was also a plus! I think this would be a great gift for anyone expecting and also new parents!
