The newborn handbook : your guide to bringing home baby : from 0 through 3 months
(Book)

Includes index.

"A practical weekly handbook for the first 3 months of parenthood--from a pediatrician and parent. The old saying "babies don't come with a manual" may be true--but this is a good place to start. Parenting is a process of phases and milestones. Each new stage, as important as the last, serves as a building process for years of parental education and care. The Newborn Handbook will gently and sequentially lead you through each week of caring for a newborn in the first three months--a period of time that can be both exhilirating as well as nerve-racking. From how-to-prepare your home prior to baby's arrival, to both parents' contributions to the stages of early development, this practical newborn handbook prepares you for all of the challenging situations to come over the next 3 months. This is not just a biological mother's physical prep, it's a trust-worthy source of bottom-line, practical information as you navigate each new and exciting day"--
