What Babies Want

Buy This Item What Babies Want by Hana Peace Works  Available from Amazon  $29.95  on 11-25-2008     This could have been a great documentary, informing parents of ways to make their baby feel settled after birth, but instead it was morbidly depressing, and it sensationalized problems with hospital births. Throughout the DVD there was spooky, chilling music; and camera angles and lighting that added a scary effect. There were a few scenes that I enjoyed, such as lovely homebirths- one in particular where the older toddler sister is delighted over the birth of her little sister. But other than that, there were no redeeming qualities to this DVD. The premise was that traumatic birth experiences lead to teenage gang behavior, school shootings etc. This is just ridiculous! There are an infinite number of positive bonding experiences that can occur after a traumatic birth- human beings are far more resilient than this DVD admits. If your baby has to go to the NICU, this DVD will make you feel like they are ruined for life. In reality, I have seen nurses in the NICU and they treat babies with the utmost love and care. The horrific medical scenes of staff treating babies roughly and unkindly are so depressing in this DVD. It was the WORST thing to watch when you are pregnant. Reader Reviews This is such a powerful and important film and a wonderful introduction to the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology. I show this film to all of my prenatal parenting classes and every time I watch it I learn something new. ALL parents and parents-to-be should see this film!
