About this listen
The moment the second line on the pee stick turns pink, women discover they've entered a world of parenting experts. Friends, family, colleagues, the UPS delivery guy - suddenly everybody is a trove of advice, much of it contradictory and confusing. With dire warnings of what will happen if baby is fed on demand and even direr warnings of what will happen if he isn't, not to mention hordes of militant "lactivists", cosleeping advocates, and books on what to worry about next, modern parenthood can seem like a minefield.
In busy-mom-friendly short essays, Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay delivers the empathetic straight dirt on parenting, tackling everything from Mommy & Me classes ("Your baby doesn't need to be making friends at three months old - you do! But not with people you'll meet at Mommy & Me") to attachment parenting ("If you're holding your baby 24/7, that's not a baby, that's a tumor"). Stefanie Wilder-Taylor combines practical tips with sidesplitting humor and refreshing honesty, assuring women that they can be good mothers and responsibly make their own choices.

A book judging other parents
I bought this book hoping to learn a few pregnancy/parenting tips in a funny manner as a first time mom. The author instead uses sarcasm to judge other people’s choices, and speaks of her own experience as though it’s fact. For example saying that breastfeeding hurts everyone when any lactation consultant will tell you that breastfeeding actually shouldn’t hurt, and perhaps there’s a latch issue etc. I wouldn’t recommend this book unless you’re a rude person, who likes to laugh at other people’s efforts to make yourself feel better.

Did not age well
I know this book came out and 2006 and certainly a lot of what is acceptable has changed, but some parts of this book were pretty hard to sit through. While I appreciate the sentiment of “don’t buy into the parenting bs”, and the book certainly had its moments, the blatant fat phobia, racism, internalized misogyny and occasional homophobia just weren’t cool. And while they overt characterizations of types of moms were meant to be comedic, it just came off as judgey and mean.
