«Babywatching» is the essay on infant behaviour by Desmond Morris, published by Jonathan Cape in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Desmond Morris applies his zoologist's eye to the most extraordinary living creature on the planet, the human baby, to explain its development from the baby's own point of view. He answers parents' questions about how much a baby needs its mother, how it perceives sounds, smells and tastes, why it cries, what makes it smile and whether it dreams.
A popular science work focusing on the first twelve months of life, in a 1999 English edition. It ranks among the author's classic popular science books, alongside The Naked Ape and Manwatching.
Recommended for parents and caregivers who want to understand the baby's behaviour and needs from a scientific and approachable perspective.
Desmond John Morris FLS hon. caus. was an English zoologist, ethologist and surrealist painter, as well as a popular author in human sociobiology. He was known for his 1967 book The Naked Ape, and for his television programmes such as Zoo Time.
