REVIEWS

I own this book and have sent it to two new moms to help them navigate homeopathic options for themselves and their babies. This book is SO helpful and has a lot of great information.  —Baily B.

If you are expecting, a parent, professional or person interested in homeopathy – especially for children, this is a great book. I ordered this book in the mid stages of my interest in homeopathy…now I am at the career stage and I still use this as a secondary reference book. It’s very well organized, includes many common childhood illnesses/concerns, clear to understand, has a materia medica section and repertory. It may also be very helpful for specifics regarding children, that may otherwise be more obscure or lacking in other reference books. The author has already extracted many of those specifics, allowing you to have a quick point of reference for diagnosis. Definitely, one of the better books on homeopathy regarding children, allowing focus on their common symptoms and characteristics. This allows you to select their remedy picture more accurately, offering more overall success with homeopathy. Happy reading…  —Lynn

I got this book in my second pregnancy, in hope to have better birth experience from my first – and i did!
my first birth lasted 3 days, 22 hours in the hospital with epidural, pitocin and more. second birth? 3 hours at home, 25 minutes in the hospital – no drugs at all! i read all the chapters and got into it, and like other people who wrote reviews here – i use it all the time with both my kids, friends, husband and myself. the book is user friendly, you have huge list of complaints and which remedy fit them. and wide description of the symptoms that fit each remedy – to make sure you chose the right one… in our family we try to avoide as much as possible the use of drugs – this book helped us so much!  —Rach

I offered this book to many of my pregnant friends. As a new pregnant woman, I needed help and support. When I found this book, I was so reassured. I could really help myself which is a very important skill when in america with at that time no insurance. My birth was incredible. I gave birth naturally to a huge baby, did not rip (use calendula cream as recommended while crowning), was late but used the homeopathic remedies from the book and did not have to get any medication what so ever. This book is a bible for every woman who wants to empower herself and use natural and efficient remedies. Buy this book in a second. You will do yourself a huge favor. Also check out all the other books that are very helpful for all other troubles. Thank you Miranda, you have been in my life for now nearly 8 years!   —E.D.

“I bought this book while pregnant with my first child back in June 2008. I have used it weekly and in my daughter’s early months, even daily. Such a wonderful read and organized in a way a sleep deprived Mum can find what she needs fast. I’ve used the book so much, it is literally falling apart. My other homeopathic books just don’t compare. Thank you so much for this incredible resource!”   — Charlotte B., Canada

“Your wonderful book on pregnancy, birth and baby’s first years is the bible in our house and rarely a week goes by that I don’t rustle through the well thumbed pages seeking a remedy for myself, my daughter, a friend or their child or my husband. Your book saw us through whooping cough when my daughter was 6 months old, not to mention horrible colic when she was tiny. More recently, it gave my husband some respite during a case of walking pneumonia and helped me through some terrible headaches when I was pregnant with my second child. I don’t know what I would do without it!”   —Abby G., Ireland

“Your book took me right through my whole pregnancy, the birth of our son, and way beyond the first year. Of all the books I have on homeopathy (and there are quite a few as I am now studying it) yours is still the one that I refer to the most. I have just given it to a friend of mine who has just given birth and sing its praises to all that I come across that are pregnant. Our son is now seven and has always been treated homeopathically. He is a picture of vitality and health! So thank you for all the help you have given, and continue to give, to me and my family.”  —Michelle, P., USA

Very comprehensive and easy for beginners to understand. I only wish more people would get into homeopathy as it is a much safer approach to herbal medicine for pregnancy, birth, postpartum and infants. I wish people understood the risks of essential oils for this vulnerable population.  —Bee

Absolutely the most helpful pregnancy/baby book ever. After three kids this book has been my savior through all the trials and challenging circumstances that come with being a parent. Ten years later I still use it as a reference for those tricky coughs, colds or headaches the kids come down with and so easy to follow and apply the homeopathic remedy according to Miranda’s guidence, this is a real gem…. Love it!!!!  —M. S.

Really useful book for anyone interested in using homeopathy for pregnancy, babies & children. As with all home prescribing be clear on the pathology you are prescribing for and be aware of when your child needs qualified professional help.  —Caroline G.
