Understanding Your Baby

Why do some mothers and babies take to breast feeding while others dont? And what are the emotions involved for mother and baby when the baby rejects a feed, or when breast feeding stops? What happens when parents and their babies have to negotiate separations, or deal with night-time crying? What if your babys distress makes you feel that you cannot cope? This book takes the reader through the entire first year of a babys life, anticipating parents questions and covering topics ranging from parental feelings during pregnancy to a 10-month-olds sociability and deepening relationships.
