Parenting \"experts\" peddle claims about how parenting styles impact a child's development and terrify new parents about getting it wrong. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Alex Bollen had her first baby, she found herself feeling guilty and anxious about being a bad mother. A researcher with twenty years experience, she went in search of answers about what was the right way to care for her children. But when she started digging into studies about mothers and babies, she was surprised by how flimsy the evidence was, and how it was so often exaggerated and misrepresented. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncensed by the way that mothers were being shamed by bad science, Alex Bollen decided to set the record straight. With meticulous research and keen insight, \u003ci\u003eMotherdom\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the bad science behind myths about bad mothering. From birthing advice that prioritise efficiency over safety and comfort and contradictory feeding advice that leaves both the bottle feeding and breastfeeding without support, to the bogus science of attachment theory, Alex Bollen reveals what we know, and perhaps more importantly, what we don't know, about what the science says.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46655853625502,"sku":"UBD-9781804297537","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781804297537.jpg?v=1774835528","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781804297537","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
