From pre-conception through the first three years of life, this beautifully illustrated parenting guide covers key elements of a baby's physical, mental, and emotional development, health, and daily care, with step-by-step instructions and common-sense advice for new parents. Reprint.
I've been making up stories for as long as I can remember. My first novel ONE NIGHT AT THE JACARANDA, in which a motley group of Londoners look for love, was described by The Sun newspaper as 'a blinder of a tale.'
HAMPSTEAD FEVER tells the story of six intertwined lives one hot summer as emotions reach boiling point. Think ‘Love, Actually’, but in a heatwave.
Now you can also read THE GIRLS FROM ALEXANDRIA, my historical novel set in Egypt. It's the frank and sometimes funny story of a woman searching for her missing sister, her lost memory, and her family origins.
In my other life, I'm a family doctor and the author of a string of health books.
When I first became pregnant I can not tell you how many times I referred to this book and again once I had my baby it was great to see the stages of development and to see what was normal in a pregnancy. I recommended this book to all of my friends that were having babies, it truly is priceless. A very good investment.
I started reading this book the moment I found out I was pregnant, and it became my constant companion throughout the journey. From pregnancy to the toddler years, this book has been my guide, my reassurance, and my invaluable resource. I truly can't put into words how helpful it was—not just when I was a mom-to-be, but also during those early days of caring for my infant and then navigating the challenges and joys of toddlerhood. The comprehensive advice, practical tips, and beautifully illustrated content made me feel empowered and prepared at every stage. This book is a treasure trove for any parent, and I can't recommend it enough
