Honest Book

Jennifer Hull wrote a wonderfully honest book and for that I am thankful. She does have a nanny but no family near bye. As an attachment parenting mom I cringed while reading her account of the "cry it out" approach,felt sad at how much she leaves her children in the care of others, and was shocked at her weaning approach. That being said she was honest, a quality most mothering books lack. She admits to yelling and feeding...

Great blend of optimism and realism

"Beyond One" was the best book I read on the subject of having more than one child.

Hull did a good job recounting personal,...

Having a second child can seem so isolating at times that it is a real comfort to realize that there are others in your same situation...

A virtual tour of how life changes with the second child

Makes you feel like you are there.... As a mother contemplating a second baby, I really liked this book because it specifically describes the issues a new addition presents and you can see yourself in the situations described, and figure out how you would feel and how you would handle it. While most parenting advice books tell you what to do, sort of generically, Hull's narrative approach allows you to prepare for having...
