false 1275020 2 Only 30 minutes old, and a baby stares at her mother's face, then begins maneuvering downward toward mom's nipple. A few days old, and she can track a ball, and "dialogue" with her limbs. Newborns are extraordinary beings, with innate abilities far beyond what is commonly believed. In <I>Your Amazing Newborn</I>, authors Marshall and Phyllis Klaus, renowned experts and authors in the field of newborns (<I>Bonding</I> and <I>Mothering the Mother</I>), combine information gained from decades of research with clear explanations geared toward new parents. The authors begin with the fetus. Through descriptions and ultrasound photography, they discuss the dialogue between mother and fetus and demonstrate the development of touch and hearing. Klaus and Klaus then explore the first minutes of life (the quiet, alert state immediately after birth) and the first few days, including descriptions of the newborn's innate senses and the ability to imitate, reach towards a parent, and enjoy sound and smell. Later chapters focus on adoption, fathering, grandparenting, and sibling responses to a new baby. Enhanced by black-and-white photographs capturing a newborn's remarkable abilities, this beautiful book is for anyone enchanted by babies. For new parents and parents-to-be, it provides insight and useful information about associating with and loving a newborn, and introducing him to the world. <I>--Ericka Lutz</I> 1339295 1985 Your Amazing Newborn (A Merloyd Lawrence Book) total:27|5:11|4:11|3:5| 27 114 40 6 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 11:21:09 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 11:23:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 13:04:21 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 13:56:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Feb 29 09:32:04 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 09:32:56 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Oct 01 18:32:43 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 18:33:37 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Nov 20 17:02:36 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 23 20:29:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 20 23:29:02 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 23:29:19 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 07 18:06:26 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 18:06:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 21:22:07 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 21:22:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 09:16:01 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 09:16:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 30 13:26:15 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 13:26:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 11:26:33 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 11:26:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 24 09:56:14 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 09:56:14 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Aug 06 17:03:51 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 17:56:40 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 17:03:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 13 19:53:53 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 19:53:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 14:00:51 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 10:29:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 07 14:44:01 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 14:44:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 20 04:30:23 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 04:30:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Feb 11 11:19:08 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 11:19:37 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 28 20:38:34 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 20:52:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 26 09:46:17 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 09:46:40 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1275020
