Giorgia Cozza
No Cost Baby. A Guide To Critical Consumption For New Moms and Future Parents
"How much will it cost me to have a baby?". This is a quite common question among future parents: baby products - powdered milk, baby foods, napkins, dresses, toys, cleaning products and drugs - as well as pregnancy products are all very expensive. Medical tests for future mothers as well as a number of maternity and baby outfits seem to be strictly necessary. Why? The answer is easy: future parents want their babies to have anything they need, regardless of the cost and all unjustified price increases. Advertising is also accountable for parents' choises.
Here is a provocative book which intends to question the main clichés about baby products, so as to show how "essential" pregnancy products and baby products, far from being indispensable, are actually quite useless, or even dangerous.
Opinions by health professionals - paediatricians, obstetricians and psychologists - are also included, providing useful hints and suggestions for more aware, ethical and and eco-friendly, cheaper choises for your babies.
