Editorial Reviews

Review
Mother Nurture is a treasure trove of information...Everyone who is a mother or loves a mother should read this book. -- Christiane Northup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

Mother Nuture is brimming with practical, life-saving information. A must-have for every mom. -- Rachel Remen, M.D., bestselling author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings

This book helps readers recognize the potentially significant problems of motherhood, and it provides a roadmap for improvement. -- Robert Truog, M.D., Professor of Anaesthesia and Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School; Director, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Children's Hospital, Boston

Through examples and research, the authors reassure mothers that their problems are shared by others and solvable. -- Shoshanna Bennett, Ph.D., President of Postpartum Assistance for Mothers

Product Description
Mothers today juggle more tasks, work longer hours, and sleep less than their own mothers did. Yet the self-healing revolution has overlooked the most significant issue in the lives of some twenty million women: how to cope with the relentless, sometimes overwhelming, stresses of raising young children in the twenty-first century. Psychologist Rick Hanson, acupuncturist and nutritionist Jan Hanson, and obsetrician/gynecologist Ricki Pollycove offer hundreds of practical ways a mother can lift her mood, stay energetic and healthy, build teamwork and intimacy with her partner, and be at her best for her family during the stressful and crucial first six years of her child's life. They also explain how the strains of motherhood can literally deplete a woman's body, draining it of important nutrients such as minerals and amino acids--sometimes so severely that she experiences Depleted Mother Syndrome (DMS). Covering everything from stress relief in the middle of a crazy day to gettting more sleep, eating better, balancing home and work, sharing the load fairly, and keeping a strong love alive with her partner, Mother Nurture is the first book to present a comprehensive program that helps a mom take care of herself while she takes care of her family.

5.0 out of 5 stars must-read for moms (and dads), October 31, 2002
By gretchen mcdougall (montara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Unlike most self-help books, whose gimmicks are evident in the first chapter and merely reiterated throughout the rest of the book, each chapter of Mother Nurture covers fresh territory and offers the appropriate solutions. From sleep deprivation to rekindling the relationship with your partner, it's all in here. Problems are laid out using examples and the advice is practical, doable, and in plain Engish. All moms are sure to see themselves in this book, and there is plenty for dads to mull over as well (leave this book lying open to the chapters on intimacy, and if he picks it up, it may just disappear for days while he reads it all). This is now my gift to all new parents, and many of the veterans, within my circle of friends. And if I fail to improve my own lot as a mom, it will be strictly my own fault!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last! A comprehensive self-help book for mothers., May 13, 2002
By A Customer
I've read scores of baby-related advice books, but until now have never come across a book that is so directed at helping the mother. It's such a relief to read in Mother Nurture that much of a mother's exhaustion and depression has very real, physiological problems that can be corrected. The authors help direct women towards solving whatever mom-related problem they're experiencing. It's a wise, sympathetic, and intelligent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - A Name for How I am Feeling..., August 5, 2002
By A Customer
This book is a rare find! After years of desperately searching for answers to why I was feeling so exhausted, depressed, physically sick, and stressed in motherhood and marital relationship, this book has pulled all of these aspects together and given it a name. I had visited many different doctors who focused on single complaint areas (physical and psychological) but never thought that all of the symptoms could be causal and interrelated. The authors beautifully discuss everything from hormone balance, nutritional deficiencies, external stressors, and relationship/gender differences. They then offer a myriad of recovery/replentishment suggestions encompassing both western and alternative methods, along with a comprehensive appendix of how to find the support you need to overcome Depleted Mother Syndrome. I bought 2 other copies for my sister and a friend.
