Really looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for this, and for linking to Yael's excellent essay in Slate.

I've never read or heard a more spot-on description of what the let-down response feels like. My last "baby" is seven years old. But I think those feelings stay forever. It's such a heightened sensory period. When I had my first baby in 2000, I was so surprised about that.

Can't wait to read — just ordered!
