Forty years ago when my children were being born, I recall being comforted by Dr. Winnicott’s reassurance, “You are the child’s mother and it’s a wonderful thing you’re doing and you will know what to do.” I reread the same words many times. This book delivers the same message in many different, lovely ways.
