Review from a friend who recently read the book: 

Reviewing A Catholic Postpartum by Julie Larsen

Margaret Wolfe

"This was a phenomenal and eye-opening book. Wow, there's so much to learn from this book. My favorite part about this book was Tinctures, Bath Sitz and more section that was especially helpful and interesting. As a Catholic, I really found the saint section in the back compelling and gave me great hope. I also really enjoyed the section on cloth diapering as this is becoming a "fashionable" thing again. An interesting fact that i learned is that 50% to 85% of moms suffer from postpartum depression. A lot of interesting facts about that too.  I would strongly recommend this book to any mommas who are looking for a Catholic perspective on dealing with the postpartum stage.
