Baby Person

Radically Fulfilling, Less Anxious Parenting

From trusted infant and childcare expert Janet Lansbury comes an empowering method for raising confident, independent and resilient children – not by parents doing more, but less.

Janet Lansbury’s philosophy is simple: a baby is to be respected and trusted, not constantly managed, fussed over, or taught. In Janet Lansbury's wise and eminently helpful hands, however, this is more than a philosophy – she makes it actionable. At the heart of her method is her compelling ‘baby whisperer’ approach: how to truly understand your baby and have the confidence to support their development, not control it.

Drawing on Lansbury's more than twenty-five years working with families and being a parent herself, Baby Person will help parents deal confidently with the pressure points they face every day – from getting a child to sleep or eat to setting boundaries and from reacting to tantrums to potty training. A guide sure to be cherished by readers everywhere, it will reframe the way a whole generation relates to the little people in their lives, helping them become the calm and emotionally present caregivers they want to be – now, and beyond the tender first few years.
