  <description><![CDATA[The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts.     <p>Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy -- suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant &quot;lactivists,&quot; cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.     <p>In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy &amp; Me classes (&quot;Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy &amp; Me&quot;) to attachment parenting (&quot;If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor&quot;). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices. A witty and welcome antidote to trendy parenting texts and scarifying case studies, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay provides genuine support, encouragement, and indispensable common-sense advice.</p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts.     <p>Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy -- suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant &quot;lactivists,&quot; cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.     <p>In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy &amp; Me classes (&quot;Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy &amp; Me&quot;) to attachment parenting (&quot;If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor&quot;). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices. A witty and welcome antidote to trendy parenting texts and scarifying case studies, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay provides genuine support, encouragement, and indispensable common-sense advice.</p></p>]]>

Much like Jenny McCarthy's books, Sippy Cups... talks to new moms with that same in your face snark, with much less talk about poop (although no book about a new baby would be complete without SOME poop talk, let's get real.)<br/><br/>Wilder-Taylor seems l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42408791">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts.     <p>Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy -- suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant &quot;lactivists,&quot; cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.     <p>In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy &amp; Me classes (&quot;Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy &amp; Me&quot;) to attachment parenting (&quot;If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor&quot;). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices. A witty and welcome antidote to trendy parenting texts and scarifying case studies, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay provides genuine support, encouragement, and indispensable common-sense advice.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a breath of fresh air. It really addresses all of the silly things you go through during pregnancy and so on with your early experiences in motherhood. The writer says things that you would think but never have the balls to say. It's a fast read and really humorous!]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts.     <p>Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy -- suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant &quot;lactivists,&quot; cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.     <p>In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy &amp; Me classes (&quot;Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy &amp; Me&quot;) to attachment parenting (&quot;If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor&quot;). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices. A witty and welcome antidote to trendy parenting texts and scarifying case studies, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay provides genuine support, encouragement, and indispensable common-sense advice.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book and very relevant to a new mom!  The author had a great way of showing the humor in everything that happens in the first year of parenthood.  I was laughing out loud and nodding my head at so many parts.  It's a very quick and easy read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book, though I may have enjoyed it more had I read it when my son was more of a newbie. The same author has one for the toddler stage, though I probably won't pick it up any time soon. If this were a movie, it would be one I would rent, but I wouldn't pay to see it on the big screen.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24113104">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great cynical and sometimes crass humor.  Makes you laugh about all the good, the bad, and the ugly of having a baby.  Great short blurbs of chapters to read in the minutes I get to myself...perfect for a new mom.]]></body>
