Dr Spock

I picked this book one day…
not due to recommendation, simply, I picked it..
well… it’s quite easy to read and easy to understand…
it’s about parenting, about taking care of baby..
I’ve already have a few books as such, but I just want to see more of other suggestions/opinions…

the book’s pretty thick, as it covers a lot of topics…
but in conclusion,
what Dr Spock said, is,
trust your instinct – oh, which I like ^_^
I prefer freestyle way of teaching, keke!!
he mentioned, it’s better to ‘parent’ happily and relaxingly with some mistakes, than to try to be perfect, but stressed!

I just met up with my childhood friend the other day..
I’m impressed/surprised to the fact that, being a working mother, she’s also breastfed(with expressed milk) her babies up to 1 year (oh, another benchmark for me then, seems like I can’t wean too early)
It’s nothing too surprisingly, but to her, I didn’t expect that, cos, she’s the smartest student in school and she’s a scholar..
so, she never strikes me as she can be so motherly…
and ya, she’s very motherly… which I’m glad…
and she’s shared with me of her own experience, and I guess…
even though far apart, but being in the same environment during our childhood time, do bring some similarity in us…
ie. family’s very important to us.., as in, very…
and guess what, her experience tells her, then she told me the other day…
exactly as what Dr Spock has said,
“trust your instinct”
and that’s why, we nurse our babies while sleeping,
and that’s why, we kinda carry our babies very often…
cos, we enjoy and we want to do it…
as what our instinct tells us…
well… I guess, her instinct and my instinct are pretty similar in that sense…
which… luckily, his instinct is similar to mine too ^_^
