This book is a must for everyone. Michel Odent confirmed my mother felt mistreated by society and the many judgments and ideas. Since I am a mother I constantly see violence inflicted on children from birth, which is still a major trauma for them and the early separation. The closest entourage often wish to break the bond that united the baby to his parents and how many times I heard behind my back because we wore our baby instead of letting the screaming in a separate room ... How would have liked this approach we regret later, trying to scare us, speaking to us King children because our baby is breastfed on demand. All these absurdities and violence that leads to speeches like "I kept waiting because otherwise it will get used to eat when she is hungry" terrible situation of our modern world that wishes to the child suffering soon possible so that he gets used and saccommode the harshness of life ... A maternity nurse already told us "did not used to take with you because if you leave it will be hard for it "to which I replied," and if I leave now it's not hard for her? she suffers less because it has two days simply because she can not say anything with words So it makes you less harm? " I often think that if the new baby appeared with the word parents would have more difficulty abandoned them, leaving them screaming, shaking and heard "I beg mom" or "dad take me in your arms I fear "or" Where are you my dear parents why you ever abandon me? " but perhaps his children there would not know the unconditional love of parents who wake up, cradle again and again because their heart break when their child has and can only appease with love. Michel also addresses instead of the spouse and the lives of three (or more) how to organize his life so that the child feels better and find a relationship? What concessions do and for whom? How consider a natural birth with the over-medicalization and unaccustomed to young mothers who give birth without an epidural staff and treat them as others who do not feel anything nor pain, nor life, who do not want to feel anything. When birth is the risk of experiencing life and the gift of it and certainly not this severe pain but so fleeting. I think every midwife should have read at least once in his life and plunge it in order not to break the deliveries with rational discourse, looks surprised, burdensome, intrusive or thinking "this woman is stupid not to epidural when you can avoid the pain ... "It would be great effect to create more area where we can give birth naturally in a caring environment. A book that makes you think and tells us much about our species.
