Babies A Parent's Guide to Enjoying baby's first year

Babies

A revised and updated edition of the parenting classic from the bestselling author of Toddler Taming.

First published in 1088, this newly revised edition of Dr Christopher Green's classic parenting manual Babies is packed with practical, commonsense and up-to-date advice covering the everyday concerns parents face in the first year of their baby's life.

From bonding with newborns, feeding and nappies, to dealing with sleeping problems, vaccinations schedules and baby-proofing the home, this guide will give every parent the confidence to enjoy their child's first year.

Dr Christopher Green's warm and knowledgeable style will reassure parents to trust their own instincts and do what feels right and works for them. Beginning at birth and covering the normal worries parents have adapting to the new little being in their midst, chapters cover practical day-to-day concerns such as feeding, crying, sleeping and bonding. Important subjects such as postnatal depression, cot death and caring for children with disabilities are also covered.

Babies will also provide parents with all the information they need to know about:

  • Adapting to their new lifestyle and dealing with tiredness, changing identities and self-image.
  • Introducing their new baby to their siblings and family members
  • Comforting a crying baby by using movement and massage
  • Dealing with sleeping problems and setting good sleep habits from the start
  • Diagnosing common baby illness and when to visit the doctor
