““I challenge the popular notions out there that are so often rooted in pseudoscience. I offer comfort to expectant and new mothers as they face the difficult task of caring for a newborn while simultaneously listening to a cacophony of voices telling them how to have their babies, how to feed them, how to hold them, and that if they don’t follow these edicts, their babies will not thrive and become successful adults. I’ve used science, common sense, and kindness to dispel what I see as the myths miring women in despair.””
