When a new mom fully understands there's no one "right" way to raise a child, it's quite empowering. From the numerous ways of becoming a mother - whether she births the baby herself (and how she becomes pregnant), uses a surrogate or adopts, she is faced with strong opinions. From the beginning she is bombarded with people telling her to choose this way or that - how to feed the baby, hold him, help him sleep, dress him, discipline him and socialize him. Others will try to convince her to stay home, work part-time, work full-time or work from home.
It's important to remember there are many variations that are all "right." Each family might need a slightly different combination to work smoothly and lovingly. As mothers are increasingly supporting each other in their individual choices, we have happier, healthier families.
