You Simply Can't Spoil a Newborn

Foreword by Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

The first three months of a newborn baby’s life offer parents a unique opportunity to lay a solid and loving foundation that will last a lifetime. This book reveals Dorothy Waide’s nurturing approach in calming the most unsettled baby and teaching them to self-settle and resettle, as well as advice on how to solve common feeding issues and manage time, relationships and emotional demands in the weeks following birth. As Dorothy says, “Spoiling doesn’t come into it – it is impossible to shower your baby with too much love!”


Dorothy is one of the world’s most sought-after baby sleep consultants, celebrated for her practical approach to baby care practiced over a career spanning three decades. Dorothy’s advice is akin to that of a trusted mother, aunt, grandmother or friend — she knows babies.
