This book provides pregnant women and new parents with evidence-based information on pregnancy and parenting. Most parenting books advise pregnant women or new parents what to do and, at best, defend that advice by citing recommendations from highly selected "experts" or equally selective "studies." Some parents prefer an advice book, but an increasing number do not trust the advice they receive unless they are convinced of its scientific backing.
