Parents recognize that all children have different appetites: Some are voracious eaters, others are picky; some refuse to eat when they’re cranky, others overeat. Despite this intuitive understanding, feeding recommendations have taken a one-size-fits-all approach. So, how can a parent know which type of eater they’re dealing with, and how to ensure their child gets the nutrients they need? World-renowned, leading researchers Drs. Llewellyn and Syrad have discovered the answers to these questions and more - and now they present their discoveries in this parent-friendly audiobook.

The First Breath is the first popular science book about the pioneering fetal and neonatal medicine bringing a new generation into the world - a generation of babies without precedent, who would not have lived if they had been born only a few decades ago.

She details the relationship mothers develop with doctors who hold not only life and death in their hands but also the very possibility of birth.

Long before they can talk, babies communicate their experience of the world through laughter and tears. Until now, however, psychologists and parenting experts have largely focused on moments of stress and confusion. Dr. Caspar Addyman is a developmental psychologist who decided to change that. For six years Caspar has run the Baby Laughter project, collecting data, videos, and stories from parents all over the world. He learned that laughter and smiles are of central importance at the start of life, defining our cognitive and emotional development.

Existen numerosos motivos por los cuales una mujer desea, tiene o necesita dejar de dar la teta. A este acto se lo conoce como "destetar".

Muchos no los podemos modificar, aunque tengamos el deseo de hacerlo; otros nos proponen un cambio de rumbo con muy poco tiempo para organizarnos, y están los que nos exigen de hoy para mañana que lo cotidiano se modifique sin importar el contexto, el calendario y nuestro estado emocional.

It’s 2am but your baby thinks it’s party time; their ‘routine’ seems to change with the wind, and you would do anything to get a good night’s sleep. We know how you feel! You might be prepared and listening to this before baby arrives, or as they snooze beside you in those early new-born days, knowing that forewarned is forearmed. Or your eyebags may tell their own bedtime story. Either way, if your baby is not sleeping, you have not done anything wrong. Your baby is not broken (although you might feel broken from lack of sleep), and you are not a bad parent.
