Description

Transforming Infant Wellbeing brings together the latest research and insights on the critical first 1001 days of infancy, from conception to the second birthday. This comprehensive collection of 25 original articles by leading experts in infant health and development sheds new light on the science and best practices that can benefit society as a whole.

Edited by Penelope Leach, a renowned expert in infant development, the book highlights the transformative impact of innovative science and policy on our understanding of infancy. It showcases the benefits of acting accordingly and the costs of inaction, providing a valuable resource for policymakers, professionals, and parents alike.

With significant advances in technology and statistics over the past 50 years, our understanding of infancy has grown exponentially. Yet, this knowledge has not been matched by a corresponding impact on parents and professionals, policymakers, and politicians. This book aims to bridge this gap, offering a unique perspective on the importance of investing in the first 1001 days of life.
