Carlos Gonzalez: the doctor who wants parents to break the rules

Ten years on from his bestselling book about children and food, Dr Carlos Gonzalez has turned his attention to wider parenting issues. But this isn't a quick fix, finds Annalisa Barbieri - it's a whole different way of looking at child rearing.

The food of love. For a successful breastfeeding

The Food of Love – your formula for successful breastfeeding 

A review of Kate Evans’ The Food of Love: your formula for successful breastfeeding by Blue Milk

Motherhood, and breastfeeding particularly, can be a terribly earnest business and can consequently make for a deathly boring read. So it is refreshing when a writer comes along who can make a ‘how to’ motherhood book lively. Kate Evans is one such writer. Her style is relaxed, chatty and inclusive (not unlike really skilled bloggers), and her book about breastfeeding is both informative and enjoyable to read. Evans’ writing is greatly aided by her skills as a political cartoonist. The Food of Love is filled with hand-drawn illustrations, which as the book says means that if you’re too exhausted with new motherhood to read much you can still pick up the main points by flicking through the cartoons. Utterly charming, Evans’ breastfeeding mothers are depicted as a wonderful range of women with various ethnicities, sub-cultures and body shapes (including loads of different breasts). (Although one of Evans’ few oversights is its heteronormativity). The breastfeeding mothers in The Food of Love successfully destigmatise the physique of motherhood. When a mother in one of Evans’ cartoons hikes up her t-shirt to feed her baby you can see a post-pregnancy saggy tummy. And while her mothers will sometimes look absolutely serene feeding their babies, they might also be in a range of other real-life motherhood states like worn-out, distracted, or even simultaneously computering.

The Food of Love covers all the usual topics of breastfeeding; how to attach a baby to your nipple, how to know if your baby is getting enough milk, and how to cope with engorgement, but also goes where few other breastfeeding books have peered – including topics such as feminism and body image. And certainly no other ‘how to’ book that I’ve read has ventured into the problems of breastfeeding when it triggers memories of incest and sexual abuse for women. If I gave out stars for my reviews I would give this book an extra star all of its own for finally including this issue, which I suspect is a hidden and significant cause behind low breastfeeding rates. Evans’ section on post-natal depression, which includes strategies for partners on how to bring the problem up, is also second to none.

My only caution with this book is one that I’d have with any breastfeeding book and that is that latching a tiny newborn’s mouth on to your eye-popping new nipples is tricky stuff, maybe too tricky for any book. The instructions in The Food of Loveread every bit as complicated as it was in practice for me the first time around. I’m not sure that I’d have got there through books alone, no matter how carefully they were written, and in the end it took several appointments with the best lactation consultant this city has to offer to fix my latchment problems.

The Food of Love also examines several of the stickier parenting debates, like co-sleeping versus separate rooms, and baby-wearing versus prams. Those women entirely not interested in giving co-sleeping, baby-wearing and the like a go may find Evans’ approach a little obtrusive because her enthusiasm for these practices is as great as it is for breastfeeding, but I doubt the book will drive those women away. Evans is a cheerful writer, and ultimately so endorsing of mothers (when was the last time you read a parenting book that concluded with instructions to ignore the book if in any way it has undermined your confidence as a parent?) that her book is unlikely to offend in spite of its partisan nature.

In sum, this book is adorable.

Family support and Early Years intervention

After more then 10 years working with children and their families, different ages and different settings, I have the feeling I need to go a bit further. The feeling of sharing, giving and receiving in another context quite new for me. New because the setting won't be a nursery, or school, or any children services. New because it will involve the family in its own essence and will take place in its own natural world.

I'm pro natural parenting, respecting either family beliefs and children needs and stage of development. On one hand my role is to support, advice and guide any family who need it. On the other hand, provide the child an individual attention, meet and care his/her early educational and emotional needs and ensure an overall, integrated and harmonious development.

I'm currently starting my training as a doula to expand my knowledge. I strongly believe in the family and their strengths, that before the birth the family needs special care and someone to look after their needs. To be accompanied, to help them preparing the special place for the new baby, to encourage and help them to find inside what they need to become parents. Moreover, more specific presence with the mum during pregnancy any during birth.

LA LACTANCIA SALVAJE - WILD BREASTFEEDING

"La lactancia es manifestación pura de nuestros aspectos más terrenales y salvajes." Breastfeeding is pure manifestation of our earthly and wild aspects.

"Dar de mamar es despojarse de las mentiras que nos hemos contado toda la vids sobre quienes somos o quienes deberíamos ser." Breastfeeding is stripped of the lies we've told the whole life about who we are or who we should be.

"Las madres actuales somos el eslabón perdido de la lactancia y nuestro fracaso con la leche materna* es el gran fracaso de esta sociedad." Today's mothers are the missing link of breastfeeding and our failure to breast milk * is the great failure of this society.

BREASTFEEDING reduces Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

 

Breastfeeding and Reduced Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: A Meta-analysis

Benefits of breastfeeding include lower risk of postneonatal mortality. However, it is unclear whether breastfeeding specifically lowers sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk, because study results have been conflicting.

THE GOOD MOTHER - LA BONA MARE

"A Good Mother would have a casserole, the voice whispered. Apparently, the Good Mother voice comes from 1955."

 

   "One of the hardest things for me about being a mom is that I make about 107 little    decisions every day, and most of the time, I am totally winging it. Unlike work at a paid job, I don’t get regular feedback on how I’m doing."

Què és una mare de dia?

 

 

 

 

 

"¿Qué es una madre de día?

​

​En una sociedad donde el orden natural de las cosas se ha perdido hace mucho tiempo, las madres de día tenemos un importante papel en el ámbito de la conciliación socio-laboral: proteger a aquellos a los que este desorden afecta de forma más profunda e hiriente, a aquellos que no han elegido este ritmo vertiginoso del adulto sino que se les ha impuesto, a aquellos a los que no se les ha dado alternativa y claramente necesitan otro ritmo y otro calor, L@S NIÑ@S.​

​

​Nos hemos aunado para servir de voz al menor y crear un ambiente donde se permita a niños y niñas, que por diversas razones no puedan permanecer en el hogar con su madre y/o padre, desarrollarse saludablemente durante al menos los tres primeros años de vida, que al fin y al cabo son los pilares fundamentales para una vida sana y plena.

 

Con gran vocación, alegría, serenidad, paciencia y fascinación las madres de día nos entregamos a este maravilloso trabajo, dejando constancia de que otra alternativa donde el amor, el respeto y la libertad como bases del nuevo paradigma educativo y social, es posible."
