The Perfect Mother's Day Present for the New Mom or Mom to Be Near Mama's Heart by Colleen Newman
Westminster, MD, (May, 2006) - Are you looking for the perfect Mother's Day Gift for mom? Do you want a gift that will touch her heart and make her proud to be celebrating this day? Then this newly released book, Near Mama's Heart, is the perfect gift for you. It shows the joy of breastfeeding, sharing tender moments of moms with their babies bonding, and is a treasure to be shared not only with moms, but also with older siblings to introduce them to breastfeeding.
Written by parent coach and educator Colleen Newman, a Certified Happiest Baby Educator and owner of My Baby and More, a parent coaching and education services, Near Mama's Heart, is a love poem dedicated to Newman's own children. The book is accompanied by over thirty pictures of women and their babies bonding through breastfeeding, in different poses, and engaged in a wide variety of activities. Newman is owner and operator of My Baby and More, a parent coaching and education service.
"When I was expecting my second child, I searched for a book about breastfeeding that I could share with my two-year-old son," Newman explains. "There weren't many that captured the beauty of the parent-child bond nurtured through breastfeeding in a way that an older sibling could understand. So I wrote Near Mama's Heart as a keepsake that describes the experience of being breastfed from a child's perspective for my children and for others like them."
With breastfeeding now finally coming back in style in America, this book is a must have. According to statistics reported by The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, more American moms are nursing and also nursing longer. In fact, the 2005 Policy Statement on Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk of the American Academy of Pediatrics acknowledges and recommends exclusive breastfeeding (no bottle supplementation) of infants until six months of age and its continuation "for at least the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child."
Near Mama's Heart contains heartwarming verses by Newman accompanied by exceptional photography. The photos from Near Mama's Heart were chosen from over five hundred submissions from around the world. The selected photos come from the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and Singapore. Most of the pictures are of moms and their solitary nurslings, although there are a few of tandem nursing as well as poses with dad.
Near Mama's Heart (ISBN #1-4120-7919-5), a children's book about breastfeeding, is available at http://www.MyBabyAndMore.com. This Mother's Day, give a gift that will be remembered for years to come and help to strengthen the bond between all moms and their babies.
