The completely revised edition of Touchpoints is required reading for anxious parents of babies and small children

A wise new guide from America's most trusted pediatrician

Here, the authors help parents to interpret the very first cries, smiles and cooing of an infant, and show how to respond in the most appropriate and effective way to this early communication. They deal with such topics as colic, whining and tantrums.

Sleep: The Brazelton Way covers everything a parent needs to know about sleep, including the first great "touchpoint" of helping the baby sleep through the night, deciding whether to start with, and weaning a child from, a "family bed," sleepwalking, nightmares, and, above all, how to help children learn how to get themselves to sleep.
