Why Babies Need Love
Why Love Matters and How to Know if You’re Getting it Right
WHY BABIES NEED LOVE is a must-read for first-time parents and caregivers of babies aged 0-3. Parenting is one of the hardest yet most rewarding journeys, and the early years play a crucial role in shaping a child’s emotional and mental well-being.
Written by a psychologist and parent, this book explains how a baby’s brain is still developing at birth and how early experiences—especially the bond with caregivers—affect future behavior, relationships, and resilience. It provides insight into how your own emotional struggles can influence your parenting and offers practical guidance to help you build a strong, loving connection with your baby.
With mental health concerns on the rise, this book empowers parents to create a secure foundation for their child’s future. If you want to raise a confident, emotionally healthy child while navigating the challenges of early parenthood, WHY BABIES NEED LOVE is the guide you need.
