Book Review: The No-Cry Nap Solution
Posted in babies, book review, co-sleeping, feminist motherhood, motherhood, motherhood sux, toddlers on March 6, 2009 | 5 Comments »
A review of Elizabeth Pantley’s The No-Cry Nap Solution. If you’re considering buying this book then I’m willing to hazard a guess that you’re either something of a disillusioned let-the-baby-lead parenting type or something of a disillusioned get-them-on-a-schedule type.

There is always a story in your ‘first’

A review of My Little Red Book, edited by Rachel Kauder Nalebuff. There is always a story in your first, though most of my firsts however longed for, seemed to come upon me not only unexpectedly but also to feel marred by their ordinariness. I had wished I could do them over again, make them [...]
