“The Developing Child” by Tiffany Field. Copyright 1990. 170 pages. Paperback only. Tiffany Field shows in her survey of recent research that investigators are discovering that infants possess sophisticated perceptual skills, such as hearing, even before birth. Newborns can sense touch and motion, discriminate tastes and smells, recognize their mothers’ voices, and imitate facial expressions. In fact, the newborn is an active learner, looking, reaching, sucking, and grimacing from the first moments in its new environment. This book is a required reading choice for the postpartum certification program. Fulfills Postpartum Doula Certification Reading Requirement for Section 3.
