Feed the baby hummus
Lisa Lewis, MD
"Parenting practices vary widely between countries and cultures. For example, in countries such as the Philippines, breastfeeding well beyond the first year is common, and parents can make their own decision about what is right for their family. In Korea, babies eat a variety of spices and flavors, helping them develop a diverse palate and healthy eating habits. And in Italy, parents prevent separation anxiety by taking their babies to markets, restaurants, and churches and passing them around from person to person. A practical and comprehensive guide to baby's first year, Feed the baby hummus teaches parents to confidently incorporate various multicultural practices into their own caretaking plan. Pediatrician Lisa Lewis offers the wisdom and proven caretaking practices of the cultures of the world, drawn from her own training, research, travel, and clinical experience. Although certain standards of care must exist for babies to thrive and be happy, Feed the baby hummus offers a variety of cross-cultural parenting information and baby care guidance from a trusted source"--Page [4] of cover.

Supporting young parents
Elaine Chase ... [et al
"Most discussion about teenage pregnancy and parenthood focuses on the negative consequences for teenagers and their children. Yet, for some young people, particularly those who have been disadvantaged in life, early parenthood may offer the security of a family life, a sense of stability and an opportunity to build emotional attachments." "This book draws on authoritative research into the reasons for and experiences of pregnancy and parenthood among young people from local authority care. It questions the assumptions that early parenthood always limits young people's choices and opportunities and examines the types of support most likely to enable successful parenting." "This book will be essential reading for community nurses, health visitors, social workers, academics and students working in the fields of health, education and social care."--BOOK JACKET.
