No
‘One Right Way’
Rhodanthe Lipsett has produced a gem. This former
mid-wife, nurse and health care practitioner with more than fifty
years experience
has written a book for those most vulnerable people—parents,
especially new parents of a new baby.
Rhodanthe has drawn together her knowledge, experience,
the best advice from experts in the field and the most important
ingredient,
her wisdom gained over a life time of caring for babies and advising
those who care for them. The book’s sub-title is Nurturing
a New Baby, and that is exactly what the book is about.
Her book is timely and relevant. Today, when more
new parents are older and their memories and experiences of parenting
are more
remote from their daily lives, the arrival of a new baby can be
an overwhelming event. This book helps the parent understand the
needs of the tiny individual who has entered their lives and provides
reassuring advice about the many ways to meet these needs—hence
the title, No ‘One Right Way’.
Rhodanthe’s book covers every possible topic
of interest for those who are caring for a new baby. There are
sections on
communicating with your baby and understanding what those baby
cries are telling us, feeding, sleeping and wakefulness, growth
and development, as well as including useful chapters on preparing
for the birth and how to deal with postnatal problems which might
emerge.
If babies could speak they would endorse this book.
It’s
practical, full of helpful, reassuring advice and undoubtedly will
become the benchmark book for all those who love and care for small
babies. Thank you Rhodanthe for your gem of a book.
