In most cases, the mother assumes the initial and primary responsibility for Natural Infant Hygiene. This book reflects the closeness of that relationship. However, many fathers, older siblings, and other involved adults also participate significantly as a vital part of the process. This is a practice that implies a commitment of time and consistent presence that can really only be given when a parent spends the majority of her day with her child. Throughout the book, case studies, research, and cross-cultural references illuminate the text.
Numerous photos illustrate each chapter.
A resource section, bibliography, and index close the book. I have chosen to present Natural Infant Hygiene as an integral part of an intimate relationship between parent and baby. Part I explores this foundation, and the basis and principles of Natural Infant Hygiene. Both are fine. But please take the time to come back and read Part I at some point.
