This is a brilliant book. Its easy to read and informative without lecturing. It offers friendly and helpful advice and gives an insight into the psychology of your baby so you can better understand why they are behaving in a certain way. It helped me understand and communicate with my baby more effectively. Its a must have book even if you just refer to it to reassure yourself that youre not doing anything wrong.
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 01Apr2008 | | | This book has seen me through four babies and I cant recommend it highly enough. Penelope Leach clearly knows just how to pitch her advice to suit both babies and parents without making you feel guilty or obliged to follow a particular routine. She gave me confidence as a new mother to follow my instincts and ignore a lot of what I was told by older people (who have since changed their opinions). Buy it, read and re-read it, recommend it and pass it on to all new mums!
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating: Date Reviewed: 10Oct2007 | | | Let me give you one example of this books advice, taken from page 93: `29 degrees C... is a reasonable temperature to aim at in a room where you are going to bath her.` The house, the author adds, should generally be 18C to 20C. If anyone can can find a definition of the word reasonable that can be applied to this piece of advice, please let us know. No parent has ever heated their bathroom to 10 degrees C higher than the rest of their house.
Perhaps some of the rest of this book is quite useful, and perhaps some of it is a bit more practical than this. But I cant trust anyone who writes like this.
