Whatever Happened to Maternal Instincts?
Articles - Baby


This may seem a strange question to be raised by a health professional making her living from advising parents about the care of their baby. Nevertheless it is something which I have become increasingly concerned about. Many mothers I am in contact with are becoming more and more dependent on books, health professionals, the internet and their domestic helpers for advice and information on how to care for their babies. This is worrying as the more dependent the mothers become on gleaning information from other sources the less confident they are in themselves. Their judgments about their own baby become shaky and easily shattered by other people either implying they are doing the wrong things or that there is a single, correct, way of bringing up a baby.

How To Choose a Helper
Articles - Practical

The first thing you need to establish is what kind of helper you are looking for. Would you prefer someone who has masses of experience caring for children, or do you want someone with little or no experience, but can be trained to do things to your own preferences? There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
