Book Description

Publication Date: July 13 2010

This fully updated guide offers "parent-tested, pediatrician-approved" advice for new parents finding themselves overwhelmed with the reality of caring for a baby in the first eight weeks of its life. The second edition features a wealth of new information on topics such as vaccines, child care providers, babies and learning, car seats, safe sleep, cord blood, what to keep in the medicine cabinet, postpartum depression, and organic formulas. With wit and humor, the pediatrician moms allay the feelings of anxiety, guilt, and inadequacy that inevitably plague first-time parents home alone with a newborn, providing authoritative yet compassionate advice for the sleep-deprived and overwhelmed. From "Going with the Flow" (the trials of breastfeeding) and "What Goes in Must Come Out" (a discussion of "pee and poop") to "Fever: Trial by Fire" and "Seeing Yellow: Jaundice," this handbook provides solid, practical, balanced guidance that will enable parents to feel confident about their parenting skills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for new parents April 3 2013
By Maureen
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book had a lot of good information for new parents, like us, who had no idea what to do with their newborn after going home! A lot of it ended up being the same information we got from our prenatal class, and it was reassuring to get that consistent message from both sources. This would be a good book for anyone who never took the prenatal class and does not know much about baby care. It is up to date and easy to read. I would recommend it to any new parent.
