Product Description
What Babies Need – a book for (expectant) parents
What Babies Need is a basic handbook for every new parent.
A book that helps you better understand your baby in their first year.
‘If only I had known this before I had children’…
That thought crosses many a parent's mind regularly.
And although every parent learns through experience, by doing it themselves with a lot of trial and error, it’s nice that there is finally a book that can save you from the biggest pitfalls.
This might just be the only book you really need for that first amazing, crazy, exciting, sometimes exhausting year with your baby.
A different perspective on babies and development
Babies don't come with an instruction manual, yet everyone seems to be looking for one.
Hundreds of books have been written, countless courses are offered, and Google… they all promise to solve one baby problem after another.
There's just one thing many of these writers and providers overlook.
Babies don't have problems; it's society that has a problem with babies.
In this book, we take a completely different approach: that of the baby.
What does a baby truly need to develop to their full potential?
To be happy for a lifetime?
After reading this book, you'll know more about babies than most 'experts'.
This helps parents follow their own path, together with their baby.
Who is this baby book suitable for?
This book about babies and parenting is suitable for:
Expectant parents
New parents
Anyone who wants to understand baby behaviour better
Parents who want to trust their feelings and intuition
A book that brings calm in a period when a lot is coming your way.
About Melanie Visscher
Melanie and her team run a mother and child center, Oerzacht, and a treatment center in Apeldoorn.
With years of experience as a therapist and a deep study of the infant brain, Melanie Visscher has specialised in understanding what babies need for optimal development.
She has delved into scientific research and insights from various experts in this field.
She has brought all this knowledge together and translated it into accessible information for parents.
So that they can better understand what their baby needs and how to respond.
Although Melanie is not a scientist, she has taken the time to assemble the various pieces of knowledge and research surrounding baby development.
Her book is written in a way that mothers can understand, even in the tired and uncertain state they often find themselves in.
It offers facts and insights that explain the natural behaviour of babies and emphasizes the importance of:
Following your baby
Listening to your intuition
Acting on what feels right
A book to fall back on
What Babies Need is a book you pick up when you’re in doubt, searching, or just want to slow down.
Calm, clear, and written from your baby's perspective.
