“The book you wish your parents would have read”

“The Whole-Brain child” gives an interesting insight into brain development from conception onwards. It’s written in a way that we can understand it without having a degree in neuroscience. :) It helps me a lot now to understand why certain things make no sense and why babies are as they are. :)

“The Nurture Revolution” is written by a neuroscientist and uses the most recent research to help us understand what babies really need. It’s so well written and full of knowledge.

“Beyond the Sling” is a more personal story about being a mother and going against the norm and struggles that come with it. It’s written by Mayim Bialik (actress from Big Bang Theory but she has a PhD in Neuroscience) and so relatable. :)

“Healthy mum, happy baby” is a good book on how to nurture ourselves with good food during and after pregnancy. So good.😊

“Breastfeeding Naturally: A New Approach for Today’s Mother”, is the holy grail of all breastfeeding books. It’s being used a lot by lactation consultants and also for their training. The book is constantly updated by the IBCLC to be up to date with most recent research. :)

I have one last one as it has helped me a lot. I got the book series recommended by a lactation consultant. I first thought it is a bit too “hippie” for me but it is actually really good and was very helpful.

The book you wish your parents had read - Phillipa Perry

I enjoyed 'Baby Whisperer' by Tracy Hogg. I also got some good pointers from 'Happiest Baby on the Block' by Harvey Karp. Best of luck!!
