Description

Written by one of the world's leading obstetricians, this extraordinary book takes a totally fresh look at what parenting means in the 21st century. Addressing both parents, the book looks at all aspects of life, through the nine months of pregnancy and the following nine of the baby's life. It is both a practical handbook for pregnancy, birth and the early months of a new baby's life, and a stimulating exploration of this period of enormous transition. Taking a holistic approach, it advocates integrated health care, i.e. both conventional and complementary therapies, and, with its exhaustive medical content, including a 160- page A-Z section, also acts as a superb source of reference.

A groundbreaking book on childrearing which will do for the 21st century what Dr Spock and Dr Penny Leach did for the latter part of the 20th century

About the Author
Educated at Witwatersrand Medical School and the University of London, Yehudi Gordon went on to become one of the pioneers of active and water birth in the UK. He is an internationally respected figure and now runs the Birth Unit in North London which is widely recognised as the model for effective, alternative but integrated, safer birthing practice. Actress and writer Emma Thompson was one of his recent high profile clients.

Reviews
the very best book on the subject * Independent *
A wonderful book for any mother-to-be, filled with beautiful photography and sound advice... Packed with information, it explores both conventional and complimentary approaches to pregnancy, birth and baby care. Best of all, the tome is neither dictatorial nor patronising, allowing you to make your own choices. * Junior *
If there is such a thing as a good birth guide, this is the one. The modern, fresh approach and indispensible advice...(Gordon's) marriage of conventional medicine and less traditional methods will please every parent and parent-to-be. Paediatrics, midwifery, nutrition and exercise all meet in the only book that the would-be parent will ever need * Pride Magazine *
an excellent, easy-to-read and thoughtful book * Baby & you *
the definitive guide to pregnancy, birth preparation, your newborn, toddler and family. There's nothing this book doesn't cover. It is an essential reference guide for your bookshelf - so don't journey through the bewilderment of parenthood alone, when this book will hold your hand * Maternity *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
