Description From the bestselling authors of The Baby Book, William Sears M.D. and Martha Sears, R.N. explain the benefits — for both you and your child — of connecting with your baby early. Would you and your baby both sleep better if you shared a bed? How old is too old for breastfeeding? What is a father’s role in nurturing a newborn? How does early attachment foster a child’s eventual independence?
