What Every Parent Needs To Know (Hardcover)
The Positive Birth Book: A New Approach to Pregnancy, Birth and the Early Weeks
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Mixed lot
Overview:
This carefully curated two-book collection supports families on two essential stages of the parenting journey: preparing for birth and nurturing a child from infancy onward. What Every Parent Needs To Know, by Dr Margot Sunderland, translates years of developmental science into practical guidance for everyday parenting—from healthy brain development and attachment to responsive play and steering through the realities of busy family life. The Positive Birth Book: A New Approach to Pregnancy, Birth and the Early Weeks by Milli Hill offers an empowering, practical framework for pregnancy and birth—helping readers decide what kind of birth they want, understand their options, rights inside the birth room, and how to maximise chances of a satisfying birth experience, whatever setting they choose. Together, these two books form a trusted, approachable library for new parents, partners, and gift buyers seeking evidence-based guidance that is both comforting and actionable. This set combines the warmth of compassionate parenting with the clarity of informed birth planning, in a durable hardcover/mixed lot format designed for long-term use.
What Makes This Collection Special:
What binds these volumes is a shared commitment to science-backed, real-world parenting wisdom presented in an accessible, reassuring voice. Sunderland’s work grounds readers in how love, nurture, and play shape development, while Hill’s guide equips readers to navigate pregnancy and birth with confidence, clarity, and agency. The pairing recognises that the early weeks set the tone for family life, making this duo a powerful, binge-worthy read for expectant parents, new carers, and anyone who supports young children. The format and tone are consistently practical, making it easy to reference during sleepless nights, hospital visits, or a quiet Sunday afternoon—a true two-book toolkit for the home.
