Your Baby is Speaking to You: A visual guide to the amazing behaviors of your Newborn and Growing Baby
I am passionate about giving new parents the confidence they need to enter into conversation with their baby -- one that will lay the groundwork for everything that is vital and beautiful about the relationship between parent and child" (Dr. Kevin Nugent). Parents and other caregivers lament, often with some hard-won humor, that babies do not come with an owner's manual. But in fact, your infant does come with caregiving guidelines embedded in his behavior, which can tell you what he needs to survive and thrive. These guidelines have to be decoded, however. And because each infant is different, with a distinctive disposition and sensibilities, each one's guidelines are unique. As you learn to decode your baby's behavior, he will offer you precious information about his preferences, needs, and expectations -- about who he is!
