Como todas las futuras madres, me enfrenté a miedos, inseguridades e inquietudes. A pesar de mis conocimientos, hubo momentos en los que me sentí abrumada, asustada en ocasiones y llena (literalmente) de vida en otras. La maternidad ha sido —y está siendo— un viaje intenso, lleno de sentimientos y experiencias diversas, que ahora deseo compartir contigo.

Marc Sedaka stood by while he and his wife endured endless rounds of drug therapies, 16 artificial inseminations, 10 in-vitro fertilizations, three miscarriages, and finally, a gestational surrogate (“womb for rent”) who carried their twin girls to term. He was as supportive and loving as he could be, but he really wished he'd had a book like What He Can Expect When She's Not Expecting during the process.

Acclaimed author Lauren Slater ruminates on what it means to be family. Lauren Slater's rocky childhood left her cold to the idea of ever creating a family of her own, but a husband, two dogs, two children, and three houses later, she came around to the challenges, trials, and unexpected rewards of playing house. In these autobiographical pieces, Slater presents snapshots of domestic life, populating them with the gritty details and jarring realities of sharing home, life, and body in the curious institution called "family."

Eating is an innate skill that has been overcomplicated by marketing schemes and a dieting culture. It’s time to leave the dieting culture behind for the whole family. It starts with the baby’s first bite! When babies show signs of readiness for solid foods, they can eat almost everything the family eats and become healthy, happy eaters in the process. By honoring self-regulation (also an innate skill) and focusing on a whole-food foundation, we can foster healthier children, parents, and families.

Poco più di dieci anni fa, quando uscì per la prima volta, questo libro – cui seguì anche un blog, tuttora attivo – divenne subito un piccolo culto, amatissimo dai futuri genitori. Il racconto sincero di una mamma alle prese con miti da smantellare e riti da seguire, mese per mese, dal "D-Day"(il giorno delle doglie!) e per tutto il primo anno di vita del bambino, è uno slalom tra errori, fatiche, scoperte e gratificazioni – a volte mescolati tutti assieme – nel tentativo di "trovare una quadra" e ricomporre l'immagine di sé andata in frantumi con il parto.

Ser madre es un vuelco al corazón que pone tu mundo cabeza abajo. Mirar a tu bebé a los ojos por primera vez reorganiza tus prioridades, da forma a tu vida; te lleva a prometerte que harás cuanto esté en tu mano por esa criatura. Pero traer un niño al mundo no implica solo la responsabilidad de cuidarlo y protegerlo; también la de soltarle, cuando llega el momento, y dejar que camine solo, que escoja los senderos que le pida su alma, que vuele libre de cargas sabiendo que nuestra tarea está completa.

Con questo libro, Giordana Ronci, una delle fondatrici dell'Asilo nel Bosco di Ostia, tenta una rivoluzione interna alla percezione della maternità da chi la maternità la vive tutti i giorni in prima persona: le madri. Attraverso racconti di vita quotidiana e teorie educative, l'autrice invita tutte le genitrici a liberarsi dall'ossessione della perfezione.

Ho quarant'anni e spicci e non ho figli. Non li ho, e non ne voglio. Sono una childfree, cioè senza figli, che è diverso da childless, priva di figli. Una scelta versus una casualità. C'è stato un tempo in cui ero convinta che la mia vita avrebbe avuto senso solo quando avrei avuto dei figli. O almeno ero convinta di crederlo... Venivo circondata, o meglio, assediata senza via di scampo, dalle gravidanze di sorelle, cugine, cognate, nipoti, amiche, amiche delle amiche. Se non hai un figlio, nella tua vita di donna, cos'hai?

Del "Esto no es un hotel" al "Un día cojo la maleta y me voy", pasando por el socorrido "¡Come y calla!", este divertidísimo audiolibro hace un homenaje a todas aquellas frases de tu madre que te juraste nunca repetir, pero a la hora de la verdad... Su autora, periodista y niña de EGB en su día, lo tiene muy claro: "Al salir del paritorio, se acabaron las gilipolleces y comenzó el rock and roll. Todo aquello que dije que no haría, lo he hecho. Todo lo que dije que no diría, también".
