all parents should read

in the indian ancient epic "mahabharatha", there comes an incident that "abhimanyu" son of arjuna learnt while from his mother's womb, when his mother is hearing a conversation between lord krishna and five pandavas. krishna is teaching how to break the trap of "badmavyug", a type of trap set in the war to catch and kill the brave warriors who cannot be defeated by any other means. abhimanyu learns from his mothers womb how to get inside the trap, but unfortunately, her mother gets up and goes away, while krishna explaining how to come out of the trap. abhimanyu learnt the art of getting in but never knows how to come out. this resulted in his fate, later in the war, that he was trapped, caught and killed by the enemies. i thought these types of 'learning from the womb' are myths. but after reading this book, it makes some sense that there are immense truth in these old epics.

I wish I could send this book to every parent-to-be

The arrival of this book is great news! This is the long-awaited tenth-anniversary edition of Dr. Chamberlain's 1988 classic, Babies Remember Birth. In paperback format and enriched with a new last chapter, this book has the potential to revolutionize the way we look at babies, both before and after birth. Part I is filled with "user-friendly" information about the mind and abilities of newborns, as well as a thorough look at their development before birth. Parts II and III present evidence that babies do remember birth and are very much aware of the people around them at that time. There are many amazing stories of labor and birth, from the baby's point of view. As Dr. Chamberlain writes, "Birth memories indicate that babies have an identity of their own; their parents don't give it to them. They act mindfully and build experience around a central core of self." The new last chapter is worth the price of the book all by itself. Dr. Chamberlain writes compellingly about the newborn's sensitivity, awareness, and vulnerability. He emphasizes the importance and power of the infant-and-parent connection during pregnancy and after birth. When the information in this book becomes common knowledge, we will look at our children with new respect and understanding.
