Hello ladies!
Just wanted to share something............. I was told about this book called 'The Wonder Weeks' by a mummy friend recently and decided to take a look at it on Amazon. It looked interesting and not too expensive (£13.50 I think I paid) so I bought it! It basically gives you the low down on a babies 10 great fussy phases from 0-20months. Its research based and shows u when to expect a fussy patch from start and finish and explains what changes the baby is going through at this time. It's about mental development as opposed to growth spurts and from what I've read so far it's informative and interesting- particularly if u r like me and worry a lot and like to understand what's happening with LO! The basic theme is that at each 'fussy phase' babies will take a step backwards before making a giant leap forward in their development! It explains some differences between genders and gives u ideas of how u can help your babies development in each phase with suggestions of suitable games and toys etc, as well as little diary sections to document what your baby did at each phase and add photos.
I am sure it wont be everyones cup of tea but personally, as a first time mum, I wish I'd have had this when my LO arrived as it would have helped me b less anxious and better prepared for the tough times!
Hope this might help some of you as it has done me! xx
