Book review by Jane Palmer

At first glance, I thought what a lovely book and wouldn’t it make an ideal gift for a new mother. Natalie Green presents beautiful imagery of babies, mothers and fathers. The book is designed to be picked up and put down with one hand. It is short, easy to read and humorous in parts.

My major concern with this book is its promotion of bottle feeding. There are three images in the book depicting a baby feeding and all are bottle-fed. One of the images has the text overlayed saying “Never mind the breastfeeding zealots”. As a midwife, I cannot recommend this book because of its promotion of bottle-feeding and the implications that have on the health of babies.
