Baby Person

'This book is impeccably researched but it never feels abstract or unrealistic. With the warmth of a wise friend, Janet Lansbury gives clarity to some of the big parenting conundrums and will help you keep the day moving along in the face of all of the "little things" that come up when caring for a baby. But perhaps even more importantly she walks alongside you in these pages offering gentle reassurance that you are enough.'

Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting and The Soul of Discipline

'This timely book reminds us that from birth babies are people: already curious, exploring, learning at their own pace, and in their own individual ways. If we step back to observe, listen, and wait before we respond, their unique brilliance will reveal itself to us as it unfolds. Janet Lansbury offers a banquet of practical suggestions and opportunities, not prescriptions, that support this goal – advice that encourages your child’s self-directed discoveries while conserving your parental energy and expanding your joy.'
