Review, Network Summer 1999: A New Mother's Guide: Coping with change is an excellent little booklet from the Women's Health Clinic in Winnipeg. It is geared for mothers to read shortly after the arrival or birth of their babies. The booklet goes through the feelings a new mother may experience, "how to help yourself," postpartum depression, emergencies and more. The guide also has plenty of community resources (mainly around Winnipeg) and lists of materials (available anywhere in Canada).
