{"product_id":"9781743518106","title":"Your Cherished Baby","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe way we nurture our babies, from their earliest moments, has a lifelong effect on their health and happiness.  What many of us have known instinctively is now a matter of science. Study after study proves that how we hold, feed, play with and settle our babies is a major factor in their long-term wellbeing. Dr Howard Chilton has been a neonatologist (a babies' physician) for over thirty years. He has seen numerous baby-care fads come and go, but has always held to the philosophy now proved by science: you can't give your baby too much love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Cherished Baby\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Dr Chilton introduces mothers to a complete approach for settling, feeding and engaging their 0-2 infants. He explains the neurological processes of both baby and mother in this early bonding period.
