species-appropriate - the other baby book

species-appropriate - The other baby book by Nicola Schmidt

Since the Stone Age, our babies have had the same needs: closeness, protection, being held, being allowed to eat when they are hungry and allowed to sleep when they are tired. However, our modern world does not always fit these needs. This book shows how parents can still do justice to their children's original biological program: concretely, encouragingly, undogmatically and sustainably.

Here parents can find out everything they need if they want to try out a species-appropriate parenting style and adapt it to their everyday life. The most important building blocks are:

•A (preferably) natural birth

•Breastfeeding and feeding as needed

•Baby-friendly carrying

•Diaper-free toilet training

•Sleeping in the family bed

•A close contact with nature

•Bonding and security

Every family can find an individual path with their baby. It's worth it, says Nicola Schmidt: Every happy child makes the world a better place!
