What makes babies so appealing? When normal adults look at babies they feel uncontrollably protective toward them. These maternal and paternal feelings are inborn. They are built in to us genetically and require no learning or teaching.
In this book, the author focuses his attention—and ours—on the first year of human life. He approaches this familiar subject with an unprejudiced eye, aiming to set the record straight. In straightforward, easy-to-understand language, Morris addresses scientific data, ancient superstitions, and even some adult-centered biases. He provides direct, concise answers to more than fifty questions that parents (and grandparents) have asked for years.
