This review is from: The Nature of Birth and Breastfeeding (Hardcover)
Odent is one of the world's foremost childbirth experts, and he does not fall short of expectations with this classic book. In it, he posits fascinating theories about how modern childbirth practices and rituals came to be and how it was meant to be. I wouldn't recommend this for the casual reader, but if you're dedicated to natural birth and breastfeeding, it will be a very satisfying read.
