Choose from Mothering’s collection of articles and information about your new baby. Mothering recognizes parents as the experts and wishes to provide truly helpful information upon which parents can base informed choices.
Parenting from the heart - essentially, that is what natural parenting is all about. Here we have a wide range of articles and resources on how to follow your own intuition and love to nourish your family and help it grow.
Adoption
The realities of adoption add unique dimensions to the growth of a family.
Knowing that others share similar feelings and experiences can be valuable
and affirming.
Babywearing
Babies are born to be worn! Carrying little ones in slings is an ancient practice,
and research confirms it promotes bonding and health. Once you get the hang
of it, this common sense technique is downright liberating.
Bonding
Sometimes the bond we feel with our babies doesn't come as naturally as we expect.
Here are some ways to connect with the new love of your life.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is a vital part of the mother/child relationship. Not only is
breastmilk the best food for your child, but nourishing your child by the breast
creates a solid bond.
Circumcision
Circumcision has been routinely performed on baby boys in the US for years--so
many just assume that the procedure is beneficial, has no damaging effects
and is important in a boy's personal cleanliness. However, studies are showing
that none of these assumptions are necessarily true, and that it may be time
for the US to join the rest of the world in leaving boys intact.
Dads
Fathers sometimes get ignored in all the hubbub of family life. But fathers
have vital roles to play in the raising of their children, and need support
as much as moms. Check out these articles and links for resources and insights
on how other fathers meet the challenges of parenting.
Diapers
Diapering--one of the chores a new parent fears the most. But despite the smells,
the stains, the rashes and routine, diapering is a vital part of your baby's
well-being. Also, the issue of what type of diaper you use and how can be complex.
See how others have tackled this part of family life that no parent escapes!
Sleep
The night can be a long for the parents of
small children. Yet there are some natural solutions
to help everyone in the family get a good night's rest. Look here for some
relaxing sleep tips and ideas for the whole family.
