Product Description:
The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts.
Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy -- suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant "lactivists," cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.
In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy & Me classes ("Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy & Me") to attachment parenting ("If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor"). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices. A witty and welcome antidote to trendy parenting texts and scarifying case studies, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay provides genuine support, encouragement, and indispensable common-sense advice.

My husband bought me this book when I was newly pregnant with our now 19 month old daughter. I got a kick out of it when I read it the first time (at 3 months pregnant). Funny and up-beat, non-apologetic tone. Then I put it on the shelf with my other books on parenting/baby. My best friend just got pregnant and I thought that I would send her this book as well (she also has a great sense of humor and would 'get' this book. I was just going to send her my copy with a "keep or pass on" note. I thought ... Read More

I got this book as a gift after I had my daughter and didn't even finish it, although it's a fast-read book because the tone was pretentious. I may have smirked once or twice, but it's definitely not the book you need as a new mom. If your a new mom trying to embrace your new role, and you don't happen to share the author's very specific philosophies, it comes across as just plain ANNOYING!!!

This book is a fast read and I did chuckle here and there. But I don't understand why Wilder-Taylor is so disparaging towards mothers who had births they feel great about, enjoyed breastfeeding and co-sleeping, choose to homeschool, use cloth diapers or make their own babyfood.
I was looking forward to reading this knowing she has a large following and I usually enjoy "Mama lit," but the writing is flat and uninspiring. She certainly does not foster any sense of inclusion within mothers. ... Read More

I love this book! I read it online at work and had my co-workers wondering why I was laughing out loud while staring at my computer screen. I have a 3-month old son, and I share her ideologies exactly. I hope to find other moms that are the same.

I enjoyed the author's blog so much that I went out and got her book. Sad to say it was not as genuine, funny, touching, or engaging as her on-line writing. too bad!
