'I'm calling on the mums (and dads) of the world to join the movement to a wiser, more attached and connected style of parenting - because I think you've drawn the short straw. Parenting was never meant to be so difficult, never meant to be such a minefield of procedures and processes, uncertainty and doubt, information and misinformation.' --Jan Roberts

Health-care expert Jan Roberts has more than 40 years of health-care experience behind her. In Healthy Parents, Healthy Toddlers , she offers invaluable advice in simple, every-day language.
Using clear segments, Jan outlines all the 'stuff you need to know', starting with your preparation for a natural unmedicated birth, through the breastfeeding period, and on to the early years with your toddler.
Once you are clear on 'what you need to know', the 'things you need to do' section offers advice on diet and supplements, exercise routines, your mental and emotional state and your lifestyle and environment, all of which apply to whether you're pregnant, breastfeeding or raising your family.
