Babies

J Harvey is more talented than words can describe. This isn't his best work ("Beautiful Thing" is) but comes a close second.

I was advised to buy this book while I was still pregnant. Thank goodness!! It is a common sense approach to living with a new born baby. Dr. Christopher Green has a wonderful sense of humour which comes through in this book. For instance...A kick in the shins will cure a husbands 3am deafness to a crying baby...His controlled crying technique was a success with my little boy who now had no problem going to sleep. My advice to any new parent or parent to be is BUY IT!!!

Christopher Green's book made made my husband's and my first year with our beautiful baby girl a whole lot easier - and lots of fun too. It is reassuring, written with a sense of humour, and gets right to the point about what you see your baby doing, is it normal, and what to do about it. The number of times 'Babies!' was pulled down from the bookshelf - at all hours of day and night - refered to and followed made it one of the most valued possessions in our home. From 'Babies!', move on to 'Toddler Taming' for more of the same practical, easy to follow and comfortable advice. He really knows what he's talking about.
