Delivering Innovation

Oh Baby This is one of the few parenting books written in New Zealand, for New Zealand parents. It has been extensively researched alongside many expert specialists, including leading obstetricians, midwives, pediatricians and alternative healers.

It's a no-holes barred, nonjudgmental look at parenting in new Zealand today, with down to earth practical advice and tips, with a strong emphasis and well being and health, both for the mother and baby.

Author Kathy Fray is co-creator of the BabyOK Babe-Sleeper, captivating speaker and entertaining magazine columnist. She lives on the Hibiscus Coast with her husband of 20-odd years, and has developed a passion for all aspects of motherhood whilst bringing her own three children into the world and watching them grow.

It became increasingly clear to Kathy that the modern mother is entirely unprepared for motherhood. She writes "We're often 32 year old and 42 year old educated, successful and respected women, with zero practical experience, going home after our two-day stay in hospital, naively thinking - how hard can it be? But two weeks later, that previously self confident and capable woman can find herself inconceivably isolated, hopelessly fumbling over everyday mothering tasks, enduring quite literally torturous levels of sleep deprivation, feeling desperately despondent and physically aching everywhere….I just wanted to scream "Why won't anybody tell the truth?" That's what prompted me to research and write this book."

OH BABY covers the last trimester, through to the first year of parenting and includes the following topics;

medical obstetrics & holistic midwifery
management of labour
physiological & pharmaceutical birth pain relief
neonatal Vitamin K
bonding
breast milk & formula
infant sleep theories
why babies cry
immunisation
working mothers
alternative medicines
post natal depressive disorders
