Description

The first three months of a newborn baby's life offer new parents a unique opportunity to lay a solid and loving foundation that will last a lifetime.

You Simply Can't Spoil a Newborn reveals Dorothy Waide's nurturing approach in calming the most unsettled baby and teaching them to self-settle and resettle. It also offers advice on how to solve common feeding issues and manage time, relationships, and emotional demands in the weeks following birth.

As Dorothy says, 'Spoiling doesn't come into it -- it is impossible to shower your baby with too much love!'
