Book Reviews of Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality
Book Review: Extremely Helpful, Concise Informatin
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I found this book to be very helpful. We read it before the birth of our first child, and referred back to it when she was 0-3 mos old. Very practical, concise information. We both had experience with younger siblings and babysitting, but this book explains all the "day to day" questions a new parent will have.
Summary of Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality
This comprehensive guide for new parents finding themselves overwhelmed dealing with the reality of parenting provides "parent-tested, pediatrician-approved" advice to allay their fears. Written in a compassionate yet authoritative tone by two moms who are also pediatricians, this guide covers a wealth of topics that often prove daunting in the first eight weeks of a child's life. Starting with "Into the Mouths of Babes" (the trials of breastfeeding) and "What Comes in Must Come Out" (a discussion of "pee and poop") and moving on through "Fever: Trial by Fire" and "Seeing Yellow: Jaundice," this guide offers sound advice that will enable parents to feel confident about their parenting skills. Hints on daily living, sleep patterns, crying, the art and science of diapering, and traveling with a newborn are also provided.General Books
