Pregnant women are used to hearing the warnings from their ob-gyns about which foods and medications to avoid, but surprisingly no one informs them about which skin care ingredients could be potentially harmful to their unborn child through topical absorption.

Exposing the hidden pitfalls of the products we use every day, expert Annette Rubin-- founder of Belli Skincare, the #1 beauty brand recommended by ob-gyns--and beauty writer...

Brain Candy for expectant parents

Pregnancy is an adventure.

Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of insert fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask her doctor, such as:

- Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?

- Can you predict your baby's temperament?

- Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?

- Are bossy, dominant women...

A Peaceful birth can take on many different faces. It can take place in the hospital, at a birth center, in a home, or even under a tree. And despite your plans during pregnancy, if the birth strays from those plans, you can still have a peaceful birth. New parents will walk away from the whole of their birthing experience empowered, happy, and content with the outcome, ready to jump into parenting with both feet.

Globally and across the lifespan, children spend more time with their mothers than any other person and they have optimal cognitive and social development and appropriate behaviour if their mothers are sensitive. This book brings together the work of scholars in the field of maternal sensitivity to provide a foundation for clinical practice.
