Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay:
And Other Things I Had to Learn as a
New Mom by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor
They Most Certainly Are Not!
The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover
theyve entered a world of parenting experts. 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 isnt,
not to mention hordes of militant lactivists, cosleeping advocates, and
books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a
minefield. In busy Mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for
Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling
everything from Mommy & Me classes (Your baby doesnt need to be
making friends at three months old -- you do! But not with people youll
meet at Mommy & Me) to attachment parenting (If youre holding your baby
24/7, thats not a baby, thats a tumor). 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.
Personal Review: Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay: And
Other Things I Had to Learn as a New Mom by Stefanie Wilder-
Taylor
This book was hilarious. Anyone who is a mom, or even a nanny can fully
appreciate this book. If you are a new mom, or a mom to be, run right out
and pick up a copy. You won't want to miss out on the advice this book has
to offer.
Stefanie Wilder-Taylor holds nothing back in her candid tales from the first
year of her first child's life. Each short story is a bit of advice that you might
not hear at the local mommy and me classes. She talks about everything
from nipples nearly falling off trying to breastfeed, to mommy personality
types on the playground (avoid alpha mom, you will never be good enough
for this one).
Her advice isn't researched per say, she has more of hands on experience.
She learned that the most important lessons you can find outside of a
book, just by using your own common sense.
Stefanie also warns her readers of the many differing and strong opinions
a new mother will face. From being bombarded at Babies R Us with
questions about her views on breastfeeding (while only 6 months
pregnant), to being scolded while at a stop light for not having the bar on
her child safety seat fully lowered, Stefanie has seen and heard it all.
This book is written by a friend of Chelsea Handler. Its clear to see that
they get along famously in their snarky commentary. Check this book out if
you liked "Are you there vodka? Its me Chelsea" by Chelsea Handler.
