Your Baby Is Speaking to You: A Visual Guide to the Amazing Behaviors of Your Newborn and Growing Baby

From an international expert on infant-parent communication, "Your Baby Is Speaking To You" is destined to become a parenting classic. Through intimate access to babies and their families, Dr. Kevin Nugent and acclaimed photographer Abelardo Morell capture the amazingly precocious communications strategies babies demonstrate from the moment they are born. "Your Baby Is Speaking to You" illustrates the full range of behaviours - early smiling to startling, feeding to sleeping, listening to your voice and recognizing your face. The newest research - including information on subtle and fleeting behaviours not seen or explained in any other book - illuminates the meaning of the things babies do that concern and delight new parents: the language of yawning; the rich range of cries, and how to understand their meanings; and, baby's earliest 'sleep smiles' and sleep states, and what they signify.
