View the winners of this competition.

The way we nurture our babies, from their earliest moments, has a lifelong effect on their health and happiness.

In Your Cherished Baby, Australia’s renowned baby doctor and author of Baby on Board Dr Chilton introduces mothers to a complete approach for settling, feeding and engaging their 0-2 year old infants. He explains the neurological processes of both baby and mother in this early bonding period and debunks the myth of baby routines. Dr Chilton covers a wide range of topics, from colic and excessive crying to the introduction of varied foods to a child’s palate and how to play with your baby at various ages. His research is compelling and very relevant in a society overwhelmed with strategies to raise babies that have little medical grounding.

Most prevalent to many a sleep-deprived parent, Dr Chilton presents a practical alternative to controlled crying, a currently popular sleep settling technique that he regards as potentially harmful and unnecessary.

Dr Chilton combines his medical expertise with his strong interpersonal skills from his hospital and clinic work to bring new mothers research and advice that is up to date and easy to understand.

Dr Howard Chilton has been a babies’ physician for over 35 years, training in London, Oxford and the United States. He was a longstanding Director of Newborn Care at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney, while also a working father to his two daughters, Georgina and Isabella. Dr Chilton continues to work clinically at the Royal Hospital and Prince of Wales Private Hospital and is one of Australia’s leading baby doctors. His previous book, Baby on Board, now in its third edition, is revered by parents for its rigorous evidence-based information couched in a reassuring, easy-to-read style.
