Your Guide to Bringing Home Baby

Narrado por: Siiri Scott

The saying "babies don't come with a manual" may be true - but newborn books are a good place to start. Parenting is a process of phases and milestones, and newborn books are invaluable. 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 - the weeks and months that can be both exhilarating 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 standout in newborn books prepares you for all of the challenging situations to come.

Go beyond other newborn books with:

• Baby steps - Each chapter follows your baby's age sequentially, so you can intuitively follow along in each growth stage.
• All parents included - This inclusive book is filled with practical advice for all parents and caregivers - even non-biological.
• Helpful resources - Discover helpful references and resources section with some great additional information.

Great introduction to caring for a newborn

I enjoyed this book. It offers a lot of practical information and advice regarding caring for a newborn and has several tips for maintaining your relationship with your partner throughout this new phase of life. I feel more knowledgeable and more prepared to welcome my baby home now after completing this book.

Short and straight to the point!

This book was wonderful! It’s short but with the important information you need to know! Only one thing is I wish it had a PDF file for us to download with the baby’s schedule she mentioned and the important lists on what ti buy.

Great introductory book

The book is a great introductory flash into parenting and covers some worries ... I'm pregnant with my first so I've had some "how do you keep a newborn alive" worries crossed my mind. I had to speed up the person who talks to 1.25 because the narrator talks in a weird block speed with gaps without doing it.

Helpful and Practical for 1st Time Parent

This was a concise overview of the essentials and made me feel a little more prepared for our first child. There were answers to a few critical questions like whether or not babies should be given supplemental water. Apparently they shouldn't! Also, I didn't know that baths aren't supposed to be daily. Very practical book!

Excellent book

Thank you for offering this helpful and informative book. I have learned a lot from it.

Simple and Informative

I found this book to be very easy to listen to and informative. Being in my first pregnancy I was focusing so much on pregnancy books and not enough on newborn 101. This book has given me the basics to feel much more confident for when our little one arrives. I’m grateful I’ll be able to go back to reference different weeks as needed, or do an overall refresh before he arrives.
