Just wanted to say how absolutely excited I am about the upcoming arrival of yet another Pinky McKay book. I have now read two of her books and I love them, their message is so obvious but yet so reassuring. Parenting with love, nurture, respecting your bubba and trusting your instincts. If you have not yet bought a Pinky Mackay book then why not? I would not be without mine and i'm sure that I will be delving into "Toddler Tactics" before too long. I have included a link below if you order before 31st Jan you get free postage and a autographed copy. Pinky has been there with me through some tough times when my trust in gentle parenting waned but yet here I am with a beautiful gently parented 9 month old who is so secure and happy.

"Bringing a new baby home can be one of the most intimidating experiences of our lives and can fill us with self-doubt. In order to nurture our child, says parenting expert Pinky McKay, we must maintain our own sense of worth. Bonding with our baby and learning to trust our maternal/paternal instincts is vital. In Parenting By Heart, Pinky offers practical and reassuring advice on:

bonding with your new baby
feeding
sleeping
routines
play and massage
your new life as a family

Pinky's techniques are based on the latest scientific research but always come back to her philosophy that every parent and child is unique, and that parents need to follow their hearts rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Her advice will help you get to know your baby, and assist you to find the right options so that you can delight in this precious time together.

Pinky McKay is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Certified Infant Massage Instructor and mum of five.
