Caring for your newborn: How to enjoy the first 60 days as a new mom combines the voices of professionals and parents as they weave together the story of the first sixty days of life. In this book, parents will find information that will empower them to support the unique development of their baby. Expert guidance on development, care and learning is brought to life by the voices of parents who write about their personal experiences. While the focus of the book is on the infant, the needs of the entire family are considered. Within each chapter, the authors provide additional resources for parents who want and need to learn more. As someone who has just reconnected with infancy in a very personal way, as a grandmother, I wish I had had this book for my daughter and son-in-law as they prepared for and embraced their first child.
For new or expectant parents, Caring for your newborn: How to enjoy the first 60 days as a new mom will become a trusted resource and a true friend. The team of experts addresses every situation confronting parents of a newborn infant thoroughly and logically. The parent stories and valuable "tips”, help to bring a friendly, yet practical feel to the book. New parents will be surprised to learn how competent their new infants are right from birth. At the same time, they will begin to understand that their role goes far beyond caretaker - it is teacher, observer, interpreter, cheerleader, comforter, and nurturer.
Caring for your newborn: How to enjoy the first 60 days as a new mom will give parents the tools they need to interpret their child's needs and to develop confidence in caring for the baby - and themselves! I suggest that prospective parents read the book before the arrival of their infant as it will give them basic knowledge about the world of newborns and will help them know what questions to ask after the baby is born. They can then use the book as a resource, revisiting various chapters as the need arises.
Everything you need to give your baby the best start in life…an essential guide for all new moms.
I’ve been waiting for a book like this! It’s so simple, yet so thorough…and the personal stories really tie it all together. Many of the parents that I work with have never parented before and don’t have the time to read a pile of text books or attend classes night after night. Caring for your newborn: How to enjoy the first 60 days as a new mom is like having a kind and experienced friend who can just live on your nightstand.
