Oh yes, good point. I didn’t use Expecting Better as a comprehensive guide, instead I liked that it helped debunk some common myths, as opposed to say What To Expect When You’re Expecting, which is just full of parroted misinformation. I haven’t read Portal, thanks for the rec! I did read Ina May Gaskin, definitely a classic — if I remember correctly, the content was similar to Nurture but I liked Nurture for the slightly more modern tone and how it inspired (personal) medical advocacy. Would love to know if you read other good parenting books too!
