BLOG ABOUT BABIES
Skincare and your Baby
Every mother wants her baby to have soft flawless dewy skin. Achieving that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but important for your baby’s health. The integrity of the skin layer prevents the penetration of allergens (causing allergic (atopic) dermatitis) or harmful bacteria (causing infection). However the surface layer of a baby's skin is 30% thinner than in [...]
Sleep and the Young Infant
Lately, I understand, there has been a frisson of activity on a parenting page regarding a blog I wrote in 2014.

If possible there should be minimal fussing after tucking [...]

BOOKS
The primary focus of Baby on Board is on ways you can love and care for your baby during the most vital time in a child’s development
– the first few months.
In this third edition of his successful book, leading Australian baby expert Dr Howard Chilton presents parents with all the information they need to be confident about looking after their new baby.
He refers to the latest international medical information so they
understand the reasons behind he advice. Not just the HOW but the WHY
This book has bigger horizons. It’s about ‘SETTLING, SLEEP, SOLIDS, PLAY and TODDLERS. It lays out the nuts and bolts of the first two years of your child’s life. This is the most critical time in their development. What they learn now about love, relationships and their value in the world will last them a lifetime. According to Dr Howard Chilton, one of Australia’s most respected baby doctors, you cannot give your baby too much love.
Drawing on his 35 years as a baby physician, Dr Chilton
explains the science that proves what many of us instinctively know: the way we feed, hold play with and settle our babies is what determines the kind of adults they will become.
