The beauty of 2AM Feeding is that it tells the whole truth about parenting. It doesn't attempt to "sugar-coat" the experience, but rather prepares the viewers for all the stresses and changes as well as the rewards that a new baby will bring. New mothers and fathers speak openly and humorously about their early reactions to their babies and share valuable insights and advice about their coping strategies. They describe the physical and emotional roller coaster ride of the first few months of parenthood, the range of emotions that interrupt life as usual and turn schedules upside down. While being candid about the problems awaiting new parents, the program also deftly demonstrates the joys of having a baby. Issues discussed include breastfeeding, fatigue, crying and colic, mother's recovery, sexuality, fathering, single parenthood, role identification, and returning to work.

"Although this film is ideal for parent education, it can also be helpful in sensitizing nurses to the feelings and experiences of new parents." - American Journal of Nursing
