• No matter how you feel about Attachment Parenting, I still believe this is a good, valuable read. It provides the basics of the parenting style and gives you options (and, ahem, permission from the boundaries of society) to parent with as much freedom or structure as you desire. I don't understand the criticism of this book; I have found that Bialik writes in a friendly tone. It works for me...but I understand not everyone will follow. •

Caroline2 Hmmm, sounds interesting...stacked! 👍🏻 5y
bibliobliss @Caroline2 It's a good one 👏 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser Love her! I debated buying this when I was pregnant with my 3rd, seven years ago, I have 3 children, 6, 10 and 17, would this still be relevant to me? The one book I did love at that time was #unconditionalparenting by #Alfiecohn, that was a life changer and a peace maker, ultimately with myself. 5y
bibliobliss @Curiouser_and_curiouser I think this book is relevant to parents of older children, even though it's focus is on babies and toddlers. It's not a long, drawn-out book and can be read and absorbed quickly. Anyone interested in the basic concepts of Attachment Parenting and especially newbies to AP will certainly get something helpful out of the book. 5y

“I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.”

Words cannot fully express how much I hated this book. 💩I don't give out 1-star ratings lightly - I think I've only rated two books with one star in the last two years. To see my full review, go here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2239949105?book_show_action=false&from_rev...

The only good thing about reading this is I got extra cuddles with my kitties! #catsoflitsy #Maverick #Marnie #parenting #baby 📚🤓📚🤓📚

BookBabe Adorable kitties! 😻 7y

Alfoster Great review! And the “elimination” paragraph cracked me up (yes, it‘s gross no matter whose it is😆)! I like her too but she sounds like a nutcase when it comes to parenting. I think you will be a great mom! Congrats!😀 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Hollie I'm not sure how I finished it either, except out of sheer morbid curiosity! 😱it was awful but like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. 💩 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Alfoster thank you! 💚🤗 and yes, she legit said that about three times on one page, that since it's your child's pee or poop it's not gross, so get over it. I strongly beg to differ! 😱😂💩 7y
JenlovesJT47 @BookBabe @Bookzombie thank you! 😻🤗❤️ 7y
BeckyK I‘m too distracted by your cats to even register the book 😍 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Beckykearns hehe that was the goal, to distract everyone from this awful book! 😂😻 7y
BeckyK @JenlovesJT47 🙈😂 It worked! 7y
DivineDiana Well that‘s too bad! 😬 7y
tif I am not a fan of Mayim so I'm kind of perversely pleased her book is so terrible 😁😁 and I'm not at all surprised that she judgey, she's always seemed like she would be. Also, congratulations on your impending motherhood! The best advice I ever got regarding parenting was to not get caught up in listening to other people's advice. Follow your heart and instincts and it's hard to go wrong x 7y
JenlovesJT47 @tif thank you so much! 🤗💚and that's great advice. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I'm actually really surprised I haven't really gotten any unsolicited parenting advice YET. 😱We'll see how it goes! And lol about you not liking Mayim 😂😂😂I've always been fairly indifferent to her but now I'm just sincerely flabbergasted by this monstrosity of a book and how judgy/preachy she is while claiming not to be. Oh well! 😒😄 (edited) 7y

Ready for some late night reading with my trusty reading companions (not like I can move now anyway!😸). #catsoflitsy #Marnie #Nala #parenting #litsomnia #litsyafterdark

MinDea 😻😻😻😻 7y
MinDea Wonder how they will handle the new baby? 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MinDea I dunno! They do well around my friend's new baby so hopefully they won't be too jealous! 😺 7y
MinDea My sister has 3 cats and at first they wouldn't go near my niece but now one of them is like HER cat. Sleeps with her at night and lays in her playroom to be with her. So sweet.. 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MinDea aww that's so sweet!! 😻 7y

• Little Free Library bookscore today! So excited to see this one in there. Snapped it up right away and already diving in. Haven‘t read many parenting books but I think this one might be worthwhile. Gotta see what Amy Farrah Fowler says! 🤣 No but seriously, Mayim is super-intelligent, definitely not your typical celebrity. •

RadicalReader @Readage Amy Farrah Fowler must have the easiest time out of the entire cast when it comes to memorizing her lines! Looking forward to checking out this book. I know when I do read it I will be reading it in Amy Farrah Fowler‘s voice 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Good score! Im interested in this one too! 7y
bibliobliss @RadicalReader Lol right!!! 7y
bibliobliss @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Started reading it last night! I think it‘s going to have some sound advice and information. 7y

This mornings recommendation is Beyond The Sling by Mayim Bialik. I absolutely hated 99% of pregnancy and parenting books I attempted to read when pregnant. There were about five I enjoyed and found useful. This was one of the five. #beyondthesling #mayimbialik #parenting #pregnancy #babies

alanacristin I'd love to know the other four on your list! Alas, it's harder to read them now I'm no longer pregnant 😛 8y
Vexingcircumstance @alanacristin I'll post them all in new posts. Doing one now. 8y
