Baby Sense

Parenting experts and co-authors of the Sense-series books, Meg Faure (OT) and Ann Richardson (Registered Nurse and Midwife) bring you the updated and expanded third edition of their highly acclaimed practical guide to parenting in the first year. Baby sense has, over the years, become the best loved baby care book in South Africa. Many parents call it their `baby bible’. This month sees the launch of its latest edition. The book has a whole new look - cleaner and in line with the rest of the sense series range – but still addresses parents’ main concerns with loads of sensible and practical advice: Why is my baby crying? How to get my baby to sleep well; How to meet my baby’s nutritional needs, from breastfeeding to solids; How and when to stimulate my baby for optimal development. This edition has new information in some key areas: In recent years there has been a shift in weaning advice for babies and all advice in the book has been updated accordingly; With a shift in access to technology for both parents and babies, the book looks at the effect of technology on development; Allergy advice has also changed and has been updated. We believe the new edition of Baby sense remains true to its original recipe while ensuring parents are up to date with the latest guidelines.
