"Filled with
great advice for expectant moms, New Mother makes the perfect
gift for any pregnant woman. The information author Allie Chee provides
allows for women to be in charge of their birth and postpartum time. Instead of
just letting things happen, Chee informs us on how to plan for a desirable
birth experience and teaches the reader that this really is something that
you must be proactive about."
-MIDWIFERY TODAY
"If you are pregnant or are a new mother you
cannot afford not to heed the advice given by Allie Chee in her book, New
Mother, if you want to experience the true joy and fulfillment of new
motherhood. A very practical book written with humor and wisdom."
"This book should be on the book shelf of every doctor,
midwife, doula, grandmother, mother, and mother to be. It should be shared
with fathers, uncles, grandfathers and brothers.

JENNIFER ANDERSEN, Our Muddy Boots
"Author Allie Chee, at age 42 and after two miscarriages, wanted a home birth, a traditional 40-day postpartum healing and bonding time, and to breastfeed and co-sleep for two years. That’s not for everyone, but indeed almost everyone would want a more natural, loving childbirth experience at home or in the hospital than the standard, mechanical childbirth template common today—and this book helps you plan for just that…a more natural, loving childbirth experience!"

"If we're ever going to create a healthy and benevolent world, few things are as important as the way a mother and baby spend their first days and months together. New Mother offers a beautiful vision and practical support for that precious and formative time."

"THE book for all expectant and new moms...and
dads...to really understand WHY they need help when they have a NEW baby...! It
is not about being able to do it YOURself. It is about getting the support that
you need and empowering you in your new role! Excellently and especially
written for women that are passionate about helping families!"

"Allie may technically be a stranger, but
she's your new best friend. Although motherhood is biological, it is also
culturally generated, and this guide fits our time and place. Delight in
the support you will feel by reading this book."

of Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine
"This gem of a book details
important information for mom's to be and should be required reading provided
by every midwife's and OB-GYN's practice."

"NewMother is a perfect read for mothers and
fathers to be. As a Lactation Consultant for Best Fed Babies I have consultations daily with new mothers who
have unrealistic expectations of being able to "do it all". Ms.
Chee's book brings us back to the reality of protecting the new mother so she
will be able to protect and bond with her new baby. New mothers can NOT do it
all. New Mother stresses the
importance of surrounding the new mother with those who can help and support
the family—this is imperative."

"New Mother walks you step-by-step through the process of determining which types of support you want and need, and how to ensure that you find just the right match for you. This book is definitely going on my “suggested reading” shelf." Read full review - Peachy Keen Birth Services

"We know that parenting is the most important job in the world and yet we are not well equipped for it. Allie's book steps into this breach to address two of what I think are the most important aspects of new parenthood: not expecting that two sets of hands can do it all, and making time for the most important aspects of the first few months (and even years) of parenthood: taking the time to get to know each other; to take the stress off and find support to heal, to adjust, to learn and to grow as a new family.
Allie's book provides options for couples to wonder and discuss, to think ahead and to prepare, and this, I think sets them up for the best possible start to parenthood."
ELLY TAYLOR, author Becoming Us: Loving, Learning and Growing Together
"This is a refreshing book about what pregnancy, birth and motherhood really mean. Allie Chee, found herself to be unusual in her attitude and expectations of welcoming a baby into her life. Others in her classes were mostly concerned with avoiding pain and were not prepared to accept any responsibility for the event of mothering. She always wanted a natural childbirth...I was hooked with that comment. This author did not disappoint. She gives infinite detail about preparing for the birth. She is remarkable in planning the birth she wanted. No detail was omitted in how to prepare your home, hire a healthcare professional, find the perfect doulas for delivery and postpartum. This is every woman's To Do List for creating your "always dreamed of" experience in Motherhood. This is a professional approach to the Profession of Being a Mother. I was absolutely fascinated by her details. I loved her attitude to becoming the Best Mother she could be. It was an amazing read for me, a "Super Mom" from that era where we thought we had to do it all by ourselves. Allie Chee takes preparation to the extreme and makes reading about it fun. I learned from this book and you will too. It is an invaluable guide. You may not be able to do it as well as this talented lady but you'll be better informed and more realistic as you plan to have a baby. The standards have been raised very high for all Doulas, Midwives, Maids, Cooks, Nannies, Health Care Professionaals and Childbirth Educators with this book, New Mother. We could all take heed! Our babies will be the benefactors!"

"For me, baby number four has brought on the most amount of changes. This is mostly because we have abandoned all things familiar about a hospital birth and we are choosing a home birth. I’ve had to rely on research and community to find information and resources in this area. This is why I have found New Mother to be a book that is for every Mother, whether its your first baby or 4th baby."
