Raising Happy Healthy Children 
Why Mothering Matters

Fully updated second edition of What Babies and Children Really Need. Presents convincing  research to show how a baby’s relationship with its mother has a lasting, deep impact. Recent social changes – such as delayed motherhood, limited uptake of breastfeeding and early return to work – are interfering with the key developmental milestones essential for wellbeing in later life. Sally Goddard Blythe says, ‘We need a society that gives children their parents, and most of all, gives babies their mothers back.’
