Love in the Time of Colic cover

Thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and company, our generation is now comfortable laughing about the big O over coffee-and thanks to our modern, metrosexual husbands, we can share equally diaper duty and hair gel. But as swinging and savvy as new parents are today, there's still one very old-fashioned topic we just don't know how to talk about: sex after the baby. "Love in the Time of Colic" takes on new parents' pregnancy and post-partum sex and relationship issues with boldness, candour, and humour not offered anywhere else.Tired and distracted new parents will stay engaged with plenty of fresh, hip, frank, and funny banter that gives equal attention to the female and male points of view. This book is about change: the changes that parenthood wreaks on your sex life, and how to adapt to those changes without letting them master you. Today's couples want straightforward, quick answers to questions they're too embarrassed to ask their friends or doctors. This book will help them rediscover what is passionate and fun about the act that got them into this baby mess in the first place (and what a beautiful mess it can be)!

"Compassionate, realistic help; highly recommended." -- Library Journal "Instead of simplistic New Age advice, Raykeil and Kerner offer practical tips for parents who live in the real world of dirty diapers, post-pregnancy pounds and little or no free time." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Both a confessional and playbook for parents who've put their sex lives on hold." -- Chicago Tribune
