These paperback books are versions of the parent/discipleship series, and are particularly designed for unchurched parents who are not familiar with the Bible. They are excellent for giving to friends as gifts when they ask about your parenting, but they are not a substitute for attending a parent/discipleship class.
On Becoming BIRTHWISE
(Pre-Birth to Birth)
Medical research continually develops better ways to manage labour and delivery for healthy outcomes. With all of the choices, theories, and plethora of ideas available today, it’s a challenge for expectant parents to know where to turn for wise counsel. Where will you turn for help? On Becoming Birthwise has reliable answers for you. As an outgrowth of a childbirth course created in 1989 by a group of health-care providers knowledgeable and skilled in labour and delivery, (and now with over seventy years of collective hospital and clinical experience behind them), this resource is a must-read for every expectant parent. Our authors explore the medical options available from high-tech intervention to natural childbirth. You will grow in your understanding and appreciation of the physical and emotional transitions taking place during pregnancy and at each stage of labour. Similar to the other seven books in our series, On Becoming Birthwise is informative, practical, and easily understood. Perhaps most importantly, this book is written from the hearts of moms who are also medical professionals. We are pleased to add this book to our parenting series. We have read many glowing post-delivery reports, we have listened to mums and dads speak with confidence and satisfaction of their birthing experience, and we know this resource will serve to encourage you through the miraculous process of bringing forth a new life.

The Babywise Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to bring security and order toyour baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mum freedom to respond to any need at any time.

The information contained within On Becoming Babywise is loaded with success. Comprehensive breast-feeding follow-up surveys spanning three countries prove this method. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps continuously through the night, seven to eight hours between weeks seven and nine. Healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development.
