Book excerpt: "In understanding infant care, personal and professional, within and beyond the home, this book invites readers to explore how past events, approaches, traditions, and stories have shaped modern day practice. It introduces topics about family life, professional roles, and settings relevant to early years educators caring for infants. It contributes to the Early Education and Care (ECEC) dialogue, but with an emphasis on the Care. The chapters introduce a historical lens to topics including, pregnancy, parental relationships, the professional's role, and services available to infants. Theory and conceptual understanding from key thinkers including Rousseau, Locke, Bowlby, Vygotsky and Trevarthen are then used to contextualise the topics to contemporary practice. Each chapter includes extended reflective thinking, case studies, reflection in action and further reading to prompt additional engagement with the content."--
