What's My Baby Thinking?
Figure out what your baby is thinking from the moment they are born.
Your baby has a strong desire to communicate, but it isn’t always easy to work out just what they are trying to tell you. In this fascinating, research-led book, parenting author Tanith Carey and Clinical Psychologist Dr Angharad Rudkin explains just what your new baby might be thinking, in 75 typical scenarios, from newborn to two years old.
What’s My Baby Thinking? looks in depth at your baby’s brain development, the neuroscience of behaviour, how babies learn, attachment, and communication. From ‘Does My Baby Recognise Me?’ and ‘When will my baby stop crying?’ to ‘Why won’t my toddler share?’ and ‘Is my toddler old enough to have a friend?’, this book explores everyday parenting experiences to help you see the world from your baby’s point of view.
Packed with practical advice on topics such as sleep development and separation anxiety, this fascinating audiobook is a must-have resource for every new parent.

All Tanith Carey's books — including this edition for parents of babies — are goldmines of information for curious parents who want to understand just why their children are behaving the way they are, and best of all, how they can effectively support their children. Carey understands that the parenting journey is a long one, and that the choices we make in the short term have a lasting impact on the long term. When parents choose to be curious about their children's behaviour, and learn ways to respond in an authoritative way (clear expectations, routines, limits and structure + a warm, loving connection) they are in a better place to help their children thrive. As a parenting educator, I recommend all of Tanith's books to my clients. They are the guides that help parents feel empowered and less alone!
