Today I would like to introduce you to a simple web site dedicated to a simple topic.

The site in question is called dear mamma and is dedicated to discussing issues on natural parenting for the first year of your child's life.

It may seem a little silly that I, a male with no children, would be drawn to such a site. But in this age where we are convinced to do things the easy way and where the family unit is breaking down, so many of us are asking the questions that lead us back to doing things, like parenting, the more traditional, natural way.

Here is an excerpt from the front page of this website:

should I quit working to become a stay-at-home mom? What can I say to my father-in-law who is uncomfortable with breastfeeding? Is the "family bed" safe? These important questions and more are answered in dear mamma.

the central theme of dear mamma is to encourage women to do what is natural, to listen to their intuitions and most of all - to have no regrets.

dear mamma is a keepsake. Inside there is a journal for you to write your very own personal letters, notes, thoughts, and quotes. dear mamma also has a special chapter devoted to daddy and worksheets designed to help you with the most important decisions in your parenting.

You will notice that this site is mainly advertising a book that you can purchase, and I have not read the book and so can make no judgment on the content. But as a prospective future parent who is already considering the various options, and taking the possibility of having children very seriously, this site, by its very nature and content, has sold me on purchasing this book once my wife and I come closer to the stage of having children ourselves.
