A Green Guide to Bringing up Your Baby

This authoritative guide by childcare expert Claire Gillman shows how a green approach not only protects you and your baby from potentially harmful chemicals and additives, but helps you develop a deeper bond with your baby. The first chapter, ‘Nurture and Care’, is a guide to the essentials during those precious first days: bonding, breast- and bottle-feeding, weaning, teething and early foods. ‘Healthy Home Environment’ shows how to make your home greener, ranging from toxic-free paints for your baby's nursery to green housekeeping and the pollutants to avoid. The ‘Learning’ chapter reviews positive learning environments, playgroups and nurseries, natural learning and decisions regarding schooling options, followed by ‘Play and Creativity’, which is packed with natural ways to support your child's development through play. ‘Health and Healing’looks at common childhood illnesses and a natural approach to treating and preventing them. The final section, ‘Natural Therapies’, explores natural therapies along with baby yoga and a soothing baby massage sequence.
