Summary Both visual and practical, this book shows you the essential information that other books only tell you. Some new parents feel daunted by huge baby and childcare tomes. "Baby Development: Everything You Need to Know" delivers just the right amount of information in crystal-clear detail. Each book gets straight to the point, with this book taking you through the first two years of your baby's life from newborn to toddler and how you can help them to develop in a relaxed fun way. Packed with fun games and activities to encourage development in communication, movement, sociability, cognitive ability and hand control, key milestones are explained with clear photographs and step-by-step instructions to guide you through what to expect, from the first smile and learning to roll, to the first steps and words.
