The Well Adjusted Babies Book
Dr Jennifer Barham-Floreani’s book Well Adjusted Babies is a parent’s answer to the question, “Can I be in charge of my family’s health outcomes?”
Dr Jennifer advocates strong holistic and wellness principles, and as a concerned mother and practitioner, she encourages parents to define their own health culture.
With this book, Dr Jennifer shares with us her personal journey of motherhood, spanning five incredibly different births, the pain and joy of both hospital and home births, and the story of their third son, born still.
“A lovely, engaging book, full of detail, compassion, warmth and an obvious respect for the reader, I recommend it highly for all parents as well as carers of babies and children and pregnant couples.”
MERYL DOREY (EDITOR, INFORMED VOICE MAGAZINE)
