About this work

Description

Covers one of the most difficult periods in the life of young parents - from the moment of arriving home from hospital until the baby is six weeks old. The couple featured are Anne and Stuart Fairweather who have just brought home their first baby, a girl, Sandra. Part One is about the baby's view. Their view is recreated as babies can only see close up. Various babycare scenarios are seen including the baby being changed on a mat. Part two is the parent's view (this starts with the opening sequences from part one of babies born in the hospital). Sandra narrates some of the same scenarios as part one (changing, bathing, feeding). Stuart also comments on how he built confidence with the baby. As the baby grizzles, Sandra becomes tearful. Sandra attends a baby clinic.
