It is with the authority of over twenty-five years as a registered nurse and experiences as a mother that Ronnie A Dean writes Babies, Bumps, and Blues: A Healthy Approach To Recovery. As a mother, she had to deal with her son being born prematurely. Such situations and other conditions that might happen during pre- and post-natal periods can take a toll on the mother. Attending prenatal classes can help anticipate some of these issues and alleviate anxiety. After the baby is born, the mother needs to be organized; for instance, having a different laundry basket for baby clothes. A good social support system is also very important. The mother should understand her baby's personality and adapt the necessary diet and other routines, such as recovery exercises.
Ronnie A Dean rightly points out in Babies, Bumps, and Blues that without women and their willingness to give birth, we would be doomed as a species, which makes this a must-read for everyone. I loved how she expressed all the points concisely, leaving no room for confusion for the reader. The plan provided at the end of each discussion makes the book very effective in passing on the intended message and making everything actionable. The reader will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language, which makes the book accessible to all levels of readers. I believe such literature will be of great importance not only to mothers but to all members of society who provide social support, hence contributing to the overall outcomes of the baby's and mother's health. I look forward to learning more from Ronnie's expertise.
