Dr Howard Chilton, based at Prince of Wales Private Hospital and Royal Hospital for Women, is one of Australia's leading baby doctors, with over 30 years experience as a neonatologist.

He was Director of Newborn Care at Sydney's Women's Hospital for over 20 years following his training in Oxford, London and the USA. He resigned in 1999 to concentrate on clinical work.

As his engagement with high-level Intensive Care diminished so he was able to spend more time with his central passion: parent education and what he terms "reassurology". He strongly believes that by enhancing parental attachment by helping parents relax and enjoy their baby so there is significant improvement of babies' emotional development.

He has written a number of books on the subject, "The New Baby Book", "Babies From Top to Bottom" and his latest "Baby on Board"

The second edition of this popular baby book, Baby on Board was released in April 2009.
