I wish I’d had this book about motherhood (when I had my daughter)! It is a very enlightening, gentle, flowing, read. It is different from the normal baby and child books. (Intuitive Mothering was the show's ‘Book of the Week’ April 2006).

Intuitive Mothering brings us back to the most basic of basics. It is about how to ‘tune into’ a mother’s instinctive knowledge about what her child needs. It is about how to use this ‘inner knowing’ to respond sensitively and appropriately to a range of parenting issues. In doing so it also releases mothers from the many ‘distractions’; of ‘oughts’; and misguided goals. It does not offer ‘soft’ options but helps to establish age appropriate developmental goals in ways that maintain good relationships and a sense of self-efficacy for both mother and child.

I just loved this book… it’s one of those books everyone should read! Such fantastic common sense — the things we all should know, but forget to think about. It was really interesting to see the other perspective (as a doctor/specialist).

She (Lyn) empowers mothers to build confidence, reject guilt and find calm by ‘tuning in’ to their own instincts and teaching them to ‘tune out’ to pressures and expectations.

Twenty years ago when I became a mother my self-confidence would have been buoyed by this book’s constructive exhortation to trust my own judgment; I hope that my life-long role as a mother will be influenced by the wisdom and compassion underpinning Intuitive Mothering.

At last! This is a fantastic read, a long awaited and unique book that will help parents release themselves from the shackles of guilt brought on by others. Forget clothes and baby accessories, this is the ultimate baby shower gift! It will last a lifetime.

I personally got so much out of this book. It became increasingly empowering as I read it and it is profoundly beautiful. I highly recommend it as an essential read for all mothers or mothers to be, no matter how young or old. If you took folate to prevent physical problems in your child, you need to read Intuitive Mothering to prevent emotional problems.
