Un libro práctico para entender cuál es la mejor forma de destetar a tu bebé. A lo largo de estos últimos años he podido especializarme en el acompañamiento de todo tipo de destete: nocturno, dirigido por la madre, de urgencia, desde los primeros días hasta en niños mayores. Todos los bebés y todas las madres van a pasar por un destete. A pesar de ello, nadie le presta suficiente atención a esta etapa. El destete es el patito feo de la lactancia. En la lactancia se pueden ofrecer recomendaciones generales que sirven para todas las mujeres, ¿y en el destete? Aquí las recomendaciones deben ser casi individualizadas. Lo que se ha escrito hasta ahora es totalmente insuficiente, por eso este libro tiene en cuenta esa necesidad de individualización y ofrece consejos específicos que son de utilidad para todas las madres.

'El libro que todas las madres necesitamos leer'. Sonia Encinas Un libro que te ayudará a poner palabras a tus emociones ?a aquello que sientes y te cuesta reconocer? para que puedas vivir tu maternidad en plenitud. Durante el embarazo, el parto y el posparto, experimentamos cambios que van más allá de lo puramente físico. Cambiamos por fuera, pero también por dentro... Nos han enseñado que debemos huir de las emociones incómodas, pero ¿cómo evitarlas en un proceso de transformación tan intenso como es la maternidad? Hemos creado un imaginario sobre la experiencia materna en el que solo cabe la felicidad, pero la realidad es bien distinta: sentir miedo, tristeza, culpa e, incluso, frustración es mucho más habitual de lo que imaginas. No eres la única que lo siente. No estás sola. Nos faltan espacios en los que las madres podamos nombrar todo lo que nos pasa, las luces y las sombras de la maternidad, y toda la gama de matices que hay en medio. Este libro es un recorrido honesto por las emociones que acompañan al embarazo, al parto, al posparto y también a los posibles duelos. Desde mi propia experiencia maternando a dos niñas y acompañando a madres en terapia, mi intención es que encuentres alivio, que entiendas un poco más tus emociones, que no las silencies, que no te juzgues por sentir. Ojalá que con esta lectura aprendas a acompañarte y a aceptarte en medio de tanta transformación.Reseñas:'Un libro para liberarte de esas falsas expectativas sobre la maternidad que te llevan directamente a la culpa. Un libro para reconciliarte con tus propias maneras, para entenderte y acompañarte en la experiencia brutal que es la maternidad'.Sonia Encinas, comunicadora, sexóloga y madre 'Desde que conocí a Ester, la hermosura de sus textos y su peculiar manera de escribir, cálida y sensible, me atrapaban en cada una de sus publicaciones. No me cabe duda de que con este libro atrapará de principio a fin a muchísimas madres que se verán reflejadas al leerlo'.Sonia Dabalsa @criaramando_amarcriando, consultora de maternidad y crianza 'Ser madre es un viaje de aprendizaje, de catarsis y de sanación con nuestras propias heridas. En esa revolución personal que es la maternidad, muchas de nosotras nos encontramos solas ante un montón de preguntas para las que nunca se nos ha ofrecido respuesta. Ester, con una manera de narrar cercana y honesta, valiéndose de su experiencia como psicóloga y, sobre todo, como (bi)madre, te habla en este libro como una amiga dispuesta a acompañarte en cada paso del camino de la maternidad'.Marta Cabrera @redwoodbird, creadora digital, productora de cine y madre de dos hijas'Qué suerte tenemos las mujeres al contar con las palabras de Ester? Este libro es un rayo de luz sobre la realidad, hermosa y cruda, de la maternidad, pero también de su magia. Un relato que nos recuerda la necesidad de que la mujer salvaje que llevamos dentro salga y ocupe el espacio que merece'.Anna Ruiz @menta_ycanela, médico de familia

When Morgan Baker's daughter, Maggie, left for college and Baker also parted with nine puppies from a litter the family raised, she collapsed into a deep depression. She eventually adjusted and, with a lot of help, did better when her younger daughter left for school. By the time Maggie graduated from college and moved to LA with her boyfriend, Baker was ready. She prepared by focusing on herself, and what she wanted. Her identity shifted. While Baker will always be a nurturer, she is more than a mother.

Most women expect to have a typical pregnancy, especially when they are told that everything is going well. This was the case for Karen up until a night when all which seemed certain was suddenly replaced with questions, including the fate of her child. Realizations about pregnancy, birth, infancy and future children shove previous visions of how life will be to the background to make permanent space for new, difficult truths. Karen provides a raw guide to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a place experienced by many parents but rarely explored narratively. Twenty-three Weeks is a love story between mother and child. It is a reflection on grief and compassion. It is a first person account of our human potential to withstand suffering and find honest acceptance.
