Official synopsis:
Unlike most baby care books, this early child care guide by pediatrician and health communicator DR.PAUL Roumeliotis takes a unique approach by emphasizing what scientific advances have confirmed—that what happens early on in life affects one's overall health decades down the road. He believes the first eighteen months of a child's life can set their wellness path. Baby Comes Home begins by describing the vital changes that occur in a baby's brain during the first eighteen months and explains why the early years are so important. It explores the new "Science of TLC," which shows how tender, loving, and caring relationships with babies help to shape their brains positively. DR.PAUL presents important practical information on safety in the home and outdoors, baby routines and patterns, immunizations, injury prevention, nutrition, and growth and development milestones. The second half of this useful guide re-views common baby care issues and concerns as well as illnesses and conditions commonly seen during the first few years of life. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, daycare teacher, or child caregiver, this book is an excellent reference for your baby's current and future health, wellness, and prosperity.
“The first 18 months of a baby’s life are crucial for their brain development. There are ideal conditions for babies to live and grow in. My book examines how to positively shape their experiences by helping parents create a tender, loving, and caring environment. Unless this is done, there can be long term negative consequences for that child,” says Dr.Paul.
Continuing, “Wednesday’s event will bring together some of the best minds and child advocates which, aside from celebrating the launch of the book, provides attendees with an opportunity to network with people they otherwise wouldn’t gain access to. I strongly urge all media to come; you’ll have plenty of stories to take back with you,” he adds.
As mentioned, the renowned Dr Waheed Waheedullah will be in attendance. In his official endorsement of ‘Baby Comes Home’, he hails the volume a “ground-breaking...a valuable resource for doctors, psychiatrists, paramedics and parents around the world, and to be used by organizations to further global initiatives relating to pediatric health on the international stage, the main specialized bodies of the United Nations, UNICEF and WHO in particular.”
