FREE
BOOKS FOR NEW NCT MEMBERS
Playing the ‘kissing game’,
taking you baby for a ride in the car and even trying homeopathy are
just some of the tips recommended by a best selling book on sleep
published by the National Childbirth Trust, one of seven books the
Trust is giving away free to new members who join in the next few
months.
The
special membership offer, which is a thank you to new members who
join between now and the end of March 2000, gives readers a chance
to sample a range of popular NCT books, worth £5.99 each, including
‘Potty Training’, ‘First Foods’, ‘Crying’, ‘Postnatal
Depression’ and ‘Safe Foods’.
According
to the book on sleep, the ‘kissing game’ could start off with as
many as 300 kisses on the first night, in a bid to lull the baby to
sleep, as part of a promise for him or her to stay lying down. The
kisses gradually reduce over a brief period to a ‘normal’ level
and the end result is a soundly sleeping child.
New
parents-to-be can get the benefit of joining the NCT and being able
to take advantage of invaluable antenatal classes for both partners
plus a chance to make new friends and share experiences.
Membership
of the NCT also offers people an opportunity to campaign for key
changes for parents within an organisation which has been leading
the way in improvements in maternity care for the past 40 years.
Joining
the National Childbirth Trust, which aims to enable all parents to
have an experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenting which
enriches their lives and provides a sound foundation for parenthood,
cost just £36 a year for both individuals and couples.
As well
as a free book, members also receive a lively quarterly magazine,
discounts on flights and holidays and eligibility for the Bank of
Scotland credit card from which NCT receives a donation every time
it is used.
Information
on membership is available from the National Childbirth Trust on 020
