Does Having a Baby Really Make It Harder to Concentrate? May 31, 2016 at 02:40PM

😂 "Parenting is clearly critical work, says the neurologist, since the dramatic growth in the brain that stems from it is not common during any other period of adulthood. “We see this amazing plasticity in the brain during the early months of parenting that leads to mostly positive growth. So I cannot help thinking that the Mommy Brain is ultimately a good thing,” Dr. Kim says."

Love and regret: mothers who wish they’d never had children May 10, 2016 at 09:37AM

Everyday I am grateful for having my healthy bouncy girl by my side. But pregnancy, child birth and motherhood are not always blissful with no tears, stress and frustration. I think all women should set their expectation right and make a calculated decision before entering the challenging realm of motherhood. Meanwhile, society should not expect all women to be mothers. Women should be able to make their own choice to pursue their own happiness.

Where Are the Happy Babies? April 23, 2016 at 12:44AM

"In the first year of life, the neocortex begins to build up the area for reasoning, thinking, planning, and other executive functions--systems that apparently finish themselves in the third decade if life. The emotion systems get established and connected by age two, which affects social capabilities later. So the first two years set up personality, intelligence and social success. (See Greenspan & Shanker, 2004; Schore, 2001.) Thus, caregiver care in the first years of life is CRITICAL for optimal brain and body development, for intellectual, social and emotional intelligence."

"We are torturing new mothers and then wondering why they get mentally ill." December 20, 2015 at 11:48PM

Thanks for speaking up! "In other cultures, mums are made to rest, recuperate, stay in bed, and do nothing but get to know baby. They are fed, washed, pampered with hot stone massages, and so on. Almost all non-westernised cultures have a ritual similar to this, which lasts about 40 days. In the West, mums are not made to rest. They are expected to go on as normal, with the washing, the school run, losing baby weight, going shopping and so on. Mums are told “sleep when baby sleeps”. However, this simply is not good enough. Because mum needs to eat, and she needs to shower, and she needs to get dressed sometimes, and she needs to go to see the health visitor and have baby weighed, and baby might only sleep for 20 minutes at a time. Then, when dad goes back to work, it gets even more chronic, because she offers to do the night feeds so that he can get up and work the next day. The importance of her physical and emotional health is ignored, at a high cost to the devastation that perinatal mental illness causes, and a high cost to the NHS." Read more at http://ift.tt/1IjgTzp
