an avid reader, all-natural, experienced parent, married
I've been reading Mothering since the early 90's and my mom has read it since the early 80's. Their niche over the years hasn't changed much: question the status quo, follow your instincts, and always take the more natural, gentle route. There hasn't been much new information for me over the last few years, but it helps to keep tabs on the latest information on vaccines, cloth diapering, breastfeeding and birth. And the personal stories are nice.
