Synopsis

This title shows you how to raise your baby and child the way nature intended, with non-invasive remedies, healthy eating strategies and workable daily routines. It looks at every aspect of a growing child - physical, developmental and emotional - and gives constructive advice on ways to enjoy and cope with each stage. It offers sensitive advice on learning to be a parent and handling the responsibility of looking after a new baby. It gives guidance on how to deal with everyday issues and minor complaints, including early nutrition, childhood illnesses, first-aid situations and sleep routines. It combines intelligent, thoughtful text with 650 specially shot photographs and clear step-by-step sequences. This inspiring and practical book provides reassuring answers to the complex questions that parents of babies and young children ask. Beginning with the initial few days of a new baby's life the first three sections of the book deal with general care and feeding, crying and sleeping, and how to encourage development and play. Guidance is given on changing, feeding, weaning, healthy eating, bathing, natural skin care, coping with tantrums, sleep patterns, stimulating your child and encouraging social skills. The last section offers a wealth of advice on illness, first aid, eating plans and recipes, with natural therapies and modern approaches interwoven with the best traditional advice. Illustrated throughout with images that reflect the adventure of bringing up children, this is a valuable, practical guide for new parents.
