Our Babies, Ourselves

Small combines practical parenting information with scientific analysis to explore why we raise our children the way we do, and to suggest that we reconsider traditional views on parenting. Small reveals her remarkable findings in the new science of ethnopediatrics, challenging cultural norms and suggesting new approaches to infant care. From sleep habits to feeding methods and talking to babies, this book will change the way you think about parenting.
