Your Baby Your Way

In Your Baby, Your Way, award-winning journalist Jennifer Margulis explores our current cultural practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of a baby’s life; challenges advice given to new mothers; and encourages parents to question what they’re told about prenatal and infant care. She explains how financial interests often skew the treatment we give to mothers and infants, investigating topics such as “Why cesarean births are increasingly prevalent,” Why more women don’t breastfeed,” and “How the diaper industry perpetuates delays in potty training.”
