Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

An excellent thorough book with a gentle approach to parenting. The authors are parents and medical professionals which adds realism and authority to their writing.

Covers intricacies of brestfeeding/bottle feeding with love (sic), baby development, relationships within the family, sleeping, eating, growing and common medical ailments and first aid - all from an attachment parenting point of veiw.

If you are interested in this kind of parenting this book is a fantastic foundation.

I was bought this book just after the birth of my daughter by my father in law and his wife and I don't think they realised what a good choice they made! If you are after a book which advocates attachment parenting (by this I mean breastfeeding, baby wearing and co-sleeping), buy this book. It is very clear, informative and sympathetic and it is one book I keep referring back to.
