About this ebook
Everyone has an opinion about a new baby, and the opinions rarely agree. Everyone Has an Opinion is a companion for the parent caught between wanting support and wanting to make their own decisions, written for whoever is holding the baby, at any hour. It does not tell you which relative is right or which method to follow. Instead it offers a way through: hear the advice, understand what problem the adviser thinks they are solving, test the suggestion against your own values and your baby's observable needs, and set boundaries that keep the relationship where that is possible and limit it where it is not. The book takes the two in the morning replay seriously, treats disagreement as a normal feature of family life rather than a betrayal, and is honest about the limits of any book. It does not diagnose, does not name products or doses, does not present any feeding method as correct, and does not give sleep-training methods or targets. Guidance differs by country and changes, so the midwife, health visitor, GP, and paediatric team remain the people to ask, and the urgent red flags for baby and parent are stated plainly. Yvonne Castell is a pen name; the voice is a writing style, not a biography.
