Push Back, a serious, important, and ultimately reassuring
response to today's pervading parenting cultural norms. This book
offers an alternative to parents desperately seeking a different
sort of birth or parenting script; one that relies more on
intellect than emotion; on love rather than biology.--Suzanne
Barston CLC, creator of The Fearless Formula Feeder blog and author
of Bottled Up: How the Way We Feed Babies Has Come to Define
Motherhood, and Why It Shouldn't
"I highly recommend that every mother and mother-to-be read Push
Back. The amount of pain, suffering, and guilt that I could have
avoided and alleviated had only I understood the flaws of the
natural parenting paradigm as explained so thoroughly by Dr. Tuteur
is immeasurable."--Leigh Fransen, Certified Professional
Midwife, HonestMidwife.com
Don't buy someone else's story of who you are or what you should do
to be a "Good Mother." Amy Tuteur speaks truth with love to help
you and your baby stay strong and healthy through childbirth and
those precious early months in your new family's life.--Susan
Lemagie, MD, FACOG, Assistant Clinical Professor at University of
Washington
Relying on solid science with a generous dash of common sense, Push
Back should be a welcome breath of reassurance for women. Looking
for the best way to ensure a healthy baby and a healthy mom? This
book is for you.--Roy Benaroch, MD, FAAP, Assistant Adjunct
Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University and blogger at The
