Emily Blunt thinks parenting is a "fear-based industry".
The ‘Into The Woods’ actress – who has nine-month-old daughter, Hazel, with husband John Krasinski – doesn’t want to read any literature on how to bring up her child.
She told Edit magazine: " [Raising children] is such a fear-based industry. There used to be one book that everyone read, now there’s How to Raise a Gluten-free Baby, How to Raise a Scientific Baby … It’s insanity!
"So I haven’t read anything, I’m just letting her do her own thing."
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old actress recently revealed how becoming a mum was like ‘heaven’ for her.
She said: "It is that and more. I know that everybody says that. Everybody says, ‘Oh it’s the best – it’s the best thing ever!’
"You don’t know what to expect because it’s just completely, existentially out of anything that you’ve ever experienced before, and it’s quite indescribable."
Emily also admitted that she loves to sing the "old standards" to her little one.
She said: "I like to sing old standards to my baby daughter.
"Some of my favourites for Hazel include songs by Ella Fitzgerald and Otis Redding. She seems to like them."
And it’s not only little Hazel that is a fan of her musical repertoire, her 35-year-old husband – whom she married in July 2010 – also loves to hear her sing.
She added: "I think John likes to hear me sing songs to Hazel. He has to like them!
"It is just wonderful being a parent."
