Parenting

This is a loving, whimsical book for mums-to-be filled with anecdotes, quotes, recipes, and bits of wisdom to help them bond with their bump before baby arrives. Incredible as it may seem, expectant parents, with their insatiable appetite for information about their babies, often overlook a key player in their child's developing personality-the baby itself. In "Postcards from the Bump", "New York Times" bestselling authors Ame Mahler Beanland and Emily Miles Terry teach parents to recognize the many cues babies give as to who they are and what they'll be like when they enter the world. Through the empowering stories of mothers who have 'been there' and supported by medical research and expert opinion, "Postcards from the Bump" helps expectant mothers bond more fully with their babies before birth, offering a welcome and necessary distraction from the many anxieties and worries expectant mothers face. Chapters of this title include: You've Got Male (or Female!); Blame It on the Bump; Belly Dancing - Your Bump Gets Busy; Your Brain on Bump - Moods, Memory and Dreams of Pregnant Chicks; and, Ready to Rock...and Shake Rattle and Roll Too.
