Synopsis
Once a baby arrives, parents have to master a whole new set of skills in a very short amount of time, which can be very daunting, especially for first-time parents. Since it was first published, almost a decade ago, this book has been like a second pair of hands for new mothers and fathers. Now fully revised and updated, it tells parents everything they need to know to successfully care for their babies. In addition to basic care routines, such as cleaning, changing, bathing and dressing, it also helps ensure that a baby feeds well from breast or bottle and is kept amused. Parents will also find the right action to take to soothe crying and teething pains and treat ill health, as well as essential first-aid techniques.
