Your Baby Is Speaking to You

A Visual Guide to the Amazing Behaviors of Your Newborn and Growing Baby

About this book

From an international expert on infant-parent communication, a rich and accessible gift book on baby "language," gorgeously illustrated with forty black-and-white photographs.
Through intimate access to babies and their families, Dr. Kevin Nugent and acclaimed photographer Abelardo Morell capture the amazingly precocious communications strategies babies demonstrate from the moment they are born.
Your Baby Is Speaking to You illustrates the full range of behaviorsā€”early smiling to startling, feeding to sleeping, listening to your voice and recognizing your face. The newest researchā€”including information on subtle and fleeting behaviors not seen or explained in any other bookā€”illuminates the meaning of the things babies do that concern and delight new parents:
ā€“ the language of yawning
ā€“ the rich range of cries, and how to understand their meanings
ā€“ baby's earliest "sleep smiles" and sleep states, and what they signify.
Your Baby Is Speaking To You delivers the information parents crave in gentle, accessible style while giving parents the confidence they need to respond to their own baby's way of communicating during the very first astonishing days and the months beyond.
