In this manual the author addresses the most important parenting issues from birth up to and including three years of age in her sensitive but sensible way. The title starts with a day-by-day, week-by-week and month-by-month look at the first year of the baby's life, aimed at instilling confidence in the mother while she gets to know her baby. It offers all the help she can possibly need for getting off to a good start. Parents are shown how to get to know their babies physically and emotionally, that they may be able to read them like a book. The author gently guides them to rely more on instinct and common sense while raising their children. Soon they will be delighting in the many positive moments of parenting and be unable to imagine life without their baby! Common issues of parenting are dealt with in topic-driven sections. The author adopts an approach of integrating complementary (especially homoeopathy) and conventional remedies where there are health concerns (colic, childhood diseases, feeding problems, sleep disturbances) and empowers parents to become active parents in the health of their family.
