Reviews
“If I had to choose just one book to give to a new parent then Christiane Kutik’s book would be at the top of my list. This short book manages to pack in a huge amount of clear information and practical help in a format that makes it easily accessible to a tired, and perhaps rather desperate, parent… I think this little book would make a difference to the lives of many families who may be sailing in troubled waters.” –Mouna Hayes, New View, Autumn 2010
