Synopsis
In this revised edition of her classic account of how and why the experts' advice has changed with changing times, Hardyman analyses the anxieties of our age and gives parents much-needed confidence in their own ability to choose the advice that best suits them and their babies., Updated edition of a classic account of how and why the advice of childcare experts has changed over the years., Analyzes the anxieties of our own age and gives parents much-needed confidence in their own ability to choose the advice that best suits them and their babies., Parents have long been bombarded with conflicting advice on how to bring up their babies: from Locke, Rousseau, and Truby King to Spock, Penelope Leach and Gina Ford. Behaviourist warnings in the 1920s about physical contact ('Never hug and kiss them. Never let them sit in your lap') swung to Jean Liedloff's 'continuum concept' that babies should be wrapped round mum and fed on demand. Today enthusiasts for the 'family bed' are at war with Gina Ford's call for a return to the strict routines of pre-Spock days. Who is right and who is wrong? In this updated edition of her classic account of how and why the experts' advice has changed with changing times, Christina Hardyment analyses the anxieties of our own age and gives parents much-needed confidence in their own ability to choose the advice that best suits them and their babies.

- a***s (12478)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI'm very disappointed with this seller! The sent me a book that had water damage. It wasn't listed correctly. I filed for a return and they took all of the 5 days allotted to approve. I shipped it back and they didn't issue a refund when the book arrived. eBay finally had to get involved and issue the refund. Really terrible customer service...never even heard from the seller. I wouldn't order from this vendor again.
