Your Pregnancy, Your Baby, Your Family - From Minus 9 to Plus 9 Months.
A groundbreaking book on birth and childcare. Written by one of the world's leading obstetricians, the book takes a totally fresh look at pregnancy, birth and parenting. It covers the nine months of pregnancy and the first nine months of life, charting the extraordinary journey from both the baby's and parents' points of view.
Covering everything from development in the womb and different approaches to labour, to breastfeeding, crying and baby massage, it is both a practical handbook and a stimulating exploration of this period of enormous transition.
Taking a holistic approach, Dr Gordon advocates integrated health care, ie both conventional and complementary therapies. Working with consultants in obstetrics, paediatrics, midwifery, child psychology, nutrition, exercise and complementary care, he combines up-to-date medical knowledge with traditional wisdom and practical advice.
