This site includes resources for birthing and abuse issues. The proper time to influence the character of a child is about a hundred years before he is born. The very best parenting practices are based on keeping baby and mom together, with as little separation as possible. Mothering babies using the above practices can be difficult for the mom who is fighting against mainstream bottle-feeding and daycare culture. But it can also be wonderfully full-filling.
Moms often talk of the overwhelming love and the great humor that comes from such parenting.
