About

Super foods for Pregnancy

The essential guide to choosing the foods that best meet a pregnant woman's nutritional needs.

Certain foods pack a nutritional punch, and can provide the optimal nutrients to nourish an expectant woman - particularly important when pregnancy side effects make eating difficult. By feasting on the foods that do her and her baby most good, a pregnant woman can ensure that her baby's brain and other organs, tissues and bones, develop healthily and that she maintains the strength and stamina to carry her baby to term and withstand the rigours of labour and delivery.

Super drinks for Pregnancy

The essential guide to choosing the drinks that best meet a pregnant woman's nutritional needs. 

Super Drinks for Pregnancy provides over 100 easy-to-follow recipes developed to meet the nutritional needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women. Moreover, because certain complaints during pregnancy can make eating solids difficult, and, once the baby is born, time for eating can become restricted, these quick-to-prepare liquid meals are the perfect solution to keep a woman nourished, energised and optimally healthy.

Perfect Sleep

An informative and practical guide for parents who want to create healthy sleep habits for their babies and toddlers.

Rather than being an isolated part of a baby's life, sleep impacts on and is affected by nutrition, development and personality. Arna Skula, a clinical nurse specialist who runs an outpatient clinic for babies with sleep problems, explains how parents can establish and maintain good sleep habits in their babies and small children, and offers ways to solve sleep problems. Unique, specially created charts show the typical sleep and wake patterns for babies at all key stages. Arna also explains what to expect at every stage of development from newborn to three years of age, and provides support for parents of singletons, twins, premies and those whose children suffer from colic, ear infections and other problems.

Baby Massage

This essential guide to baby massage enables parents to readily bond with their baby and promote his or her development, uncover potential problems and treat minor ailments.

Being massaged makes babies relax and cope better with stress, improves their muscular coordination and flexibility and helps them straighten tightly flexed hands and legs. And who better to teach parents how to acquire these essential skills than Peter Walker, the world's best-known baby massage teacher. In this fully revised edition of his best-selling guide of 2000, he demonstrates vital new sequences essential for very young babies, which can be done while a baby is clothed. * Step-by-step photographic guide to essential baby massage techniques * Suitable even for very young infants * Toe-to-top and top-to-toe massage sequences * Mobility exercises to aid sitting, standing and walking * Massage techniques to use with children with special needs * Therapeutic touch sequences for treating minor childhood ailments

Dad's Guide to Baby Care

A complete practical guide to baby and toddler care written and demonstrated by dads.

Conceived both to teach men the best ways to care for their babies and to reflect their masculine approach to childcare, this book is a comprehensive guide on how to manage every aspect of caring for newborns to older toddlers. A further feature is that it offers help in illuminating and helping to resolve contentious issues over care that frequently arise between partners. Designed to be user friendly, with dozens of step by step and other action photos, it is also filled with tips and anecdotes from fathers who share their hard-won expertise with their peers. As childcare is increasingly shared between couples or performed exclusively by men, it seems only right that men should have a guide of their own.
