Editorial Reviews
Review
“Pregnancy and childbirth are wildly vulnerable times, and one is desperate to put one's faith in the doctor. Jennifer Margulis reveals why that trust is sometimes misplaced, and helps us to make wise choices when the stakes are high. This is a must-read book for parents and parents-to-be,and for the medical professionals who care for us.” -- Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. ― author of The Dance of Anger and Marriage Rules
"A new mother's first instinct is to protect her newborn. But how can she best do that in a consumer culture so focused on its bottom line? The Business of Baby exposes some hard and shocking facts about how even the most well-meaning American parents unwittingly buy into systems that do documented harm. Thought-provoking and exhaustively researched, this book is destined to inspire much-needed dialogue about the current American way of birthing and caring for our young." -- Hope Edelman ― bestselling author of Motherless Daughters
“Jennifer Margulis's searing and well-researched exposé is a must-read for expectant mothers. Whether she is discussing common obstetric practices, circumcision, vaccination, breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, diapering, or choosing a pediatrician, she points the way to rational, health-based decision-making.” -- Ina May Gaskin
“Worthy of close consideration by parents.” ― Kirkus
"A must-read for expectant mothers... points the way to rational, health-based decision-making.” -- Ina May Gaskin, author of Spiritual Midwifery
“The most ambitious and best documented popular book about the American way of birth and infant care I have ever seen.” -- Norma Swenson, M.P.H. founding co-author, Our Bodies, Ourselves and lecturer, Harvard University, School of Public Health

This book is so helpful for people who want to know what kinds of things will be offered to them during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It's important to know what things will be offered, and what conditions really indicate that they are needed. Often things like induction or certain newborn procedures are pushed as routine, when really they can do more harm than good. Our birth care in the US has some serious issues, and this book helps mothers to be prepared and confident in their own choices.

This book opened my eyes to the impact that industry advertising has on how we care for our children and their health.
My husband is a doctor. I am a lawyer. We wish we had this book when our children were born - particularly our son. It would have been life-changing for our family.

Eye opening book. A must read for parents who are frustrated with potty training their child.
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020Verified Purchase
As a father of a 2 year old toddler, there are many things I wished I had known before our son was born and Jennifer's book fill in the gaps for some of the burning questions I kept asking. The chapter on how American diaper industry purposely kept children's potty training in such a delayed state in comparison to the rest of the world was eye opening. Your Baby, Your Way inspired me to invent a new way to potty train in an attempt to reverse the continuum up trend in the current dire diaper reliance.

I wish I read this with my first child! Turned all my assumptions upside- down, and (along with my doula) made my 2nd birthing experience 10x better. Also love her Facebook page of the same name. Thank you, Jennifer and team!!

This book is fantastic. The author lists pages upon pages of sources for her information, resources for additional reading, etc. It is so well-written that I read the entire thing in 24 hours. Best $11 I've probably ever spent in my life.

A must read for all parents and everyone
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2013Verified Purchase
Jennifer Margulis has done a brilliant job of researching and writing about this highly controversial subject. She has exposed the corporate greed that manipulates our buying choices, parenting beliefs and drives government policy against the best interests of the populace. She demonstrates how you, the parent, actually intuitively know what is best for your children. She exposes the unnecessary death, damage and permanent injury that is occurring due to non evidence based practices, mostly driven by greed. Everyone should read this book!

Very informative and well researched. But still an easy and enjoyable read. Mostly about the USA but lots of info on Europe and relevant across the globe. We need to take our babies of the market.
