"I've been a parent now for more than eight years, and--confession--I've never actually made it all the way through a parenting book. But I found Bringing Up B b to be irresistible." --Slate When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a "French parent." But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How? With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate--and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up B b is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents.

This book really made my husband and I enjoy a parenting book finally! It was very fun to read and I bought another copy as a gift for a soon to be mama friend.
The only parenting books you need.

I read this book during pregnancy and underlined so much in each chapter. It reads like a book from a friend, while still including research based tips. I also loved learning more about French culture through the author’s experience. She’s funny and curious. This is one of my new favorites.
