Baby and Childcare by Kim Davies
This title talks about raising your child the way nature intended from birth to age 5. It is an essential practical modern resource for every parent and carer. It offers sensible advice on how to deal with everyday issues from minor complaints to childhood illnesses and first aid situations. It looks at every aspect of your child - physical, emotional, behavioural - and gives constructive expert information on the best ways to enjoy and cope with each stage right up to pre-school age. It contains over 500 beautiful specially shot colour photographs with clear step-by-step sequences. It combines up-to-the minute research with sensitive and thoughtful text. This book is helpfully split into three main sections: Your New Baby (to 6 months); Your Older Baby (6 months to 1 year); and Toddlers and Older Children (1 year to pre-school). Each section deals with general care and feeding, behaviour issues such as crying and sleeping, and how to encourage development and play. A handy reference section offers expert advice on common illnesses, health checks, first aid and safety in the home. Natural therapies and alternative approaches are offered throughout, interwoven through solid, sensible childcare advice. Included here is everything you need to know about changing, feeding, weaning, creating healthy meal plans, bathing, natural skin care, coping with crying, dealing with a child's changing sleep patterns, stimulating your child, encouraging sociability, understanding each developmental stage, how to encourage good behaviour, social skills and how to prepare a child for school.
