Angela Probert Well-Informed Parent

Annotation

Pregnancy and parenting involve making potentially life-altering decisions daily. Because bad choices can have severe consequences affecting the health and well-being of one s child, it is vital that parents base their decision-making on the latest research but hitherto, this has been inaccessible to the average parent. Generally, advice made available to prospective and new parents is subjective, frequently based on opinions and personal experiences, and whilst often good, doesn t equip a parent to make an informed decision. Government bodies, baby friendly hospitals and advertisers, also may not provide key information. Therefore, if parents are to make the best decisions they can for their children, it is essential they know what the experts in the particular fields have demonstrated. This book places all the facts at a parent s disposal so that he or she can make considered, well-informed decisions.
