Angels Barceló turns on the networks for a book in which three men give advice for a happy motherhood

It is clear that a man can never feel what a woman feels in pregnancy or childbirth, but what happens when they talk about how to have a happy motherhood?

Angels Barceló ignited the debate on this matter on Twitter for a book in which three male doctors give advice on maternity. The journalist uploaded a photo of the book in question along with a controversial message: "Good thing they are here to tell us how to have a happy motherhood".

It's about the book "Being Mom: the before and after. Guide to a happy motherhood", edited last year, whose authors are three doctors: he Dr. Eduard Estivill, of whom we have spoken on several occasions in Babies and more for his disastrous method of sleeping babies, pediatrician Gonzalo Pin and gynecologist Carlos Salvador.

As expected, the journalist's comment aroused all kinds of reactions. For starters, those of mothers who think that the feeling of motherhood is an exclusive land of women.

They may know a lot of theory. Never what it feels and how it feels.

Well, about how hormones impact emotionally and how we feel (that the mood is also a matter of health, by the way), NO, they have no idea, hey. Nor do they have to. But don't try to convince yourself that yes. To another dog with that bone, friend

There is no lack of opinions of those who cross out the comment of the journalist of sexist and there are even debates about feminism.

Fuck doctors who are experts in a subject writing books about something they have studied and know but what madness is this?
You have to be sexist to put the author's gender before the book's content. What a misfortune ...

Does this all sound less important to professional knowledge to impose women on everything simply because they are? The feminist thing is tannn pathetic!

And of course, many are opinions of those prioritize the profession to sex of the authors of the book:

The same if they are doctors, maybe they can

It seems incredible to me that there are oncologists who think about cancer without having had it, and that there are psychologists who dare to try to help without having suffered any mental problems. Not to mention those physiotherapists who don't know what a sports injury hurts, daring!

Can they give advice about motherhood?

Angels' tweet has led me to ask something that I also ask you: Can three male doctors give advice for a happy motherhood?

We will answer in parts, which in the question are too many terms. I personally believe that both a man and a woman, whether a doctor or not, can give advice on maternity. Anyone can give good or bad advice regardless of their sex or profession, whether they have gone through the experience or not.

There are men with great sensitivity and empathy who can give very useful advice about motherhood without having been pregnant or having given birth (without going any further Armando is a good example). Just as there are women who, still being mothers and doctors, can give very bad advice (and it has happened to me).

Now, if we focus on the book in question and go to the synopsis, we expand a little information on what can be found inside, beyond what the cover advances. Contains information about one hundred days before and one hundred days after delivery with advice on feeding and how to take care of yourself during pregnancy, mother and baby sleep, exercises to prepare for childbirth, breastfeeding ...

What I think is wrong here is the concept of "guide to a happy motherhood" that they wanted to use to make it more salable, when the book simply offers medical recommendations for the pregnant mother and the recent mother. The "have a happy motherhood" is more complex and goes far beyond a few medical advice.

Another issue is that we are related to the professionals who give the advice. I personally I would never buy an Estivill book, even if I was a woman.

In Babies and more | Samantha Villar again creates debate by saying that if she had been told what motherhood is like, she would have said no
