Product Description
Book Description
A completely revised and updated edition of You and Your New Baby - the perfect guide to helping new parents survive the early months of caring for a newborn baby, by ante-natal guru Christine Hill
Product Description
For many parents the first few months after a baby's birth can be a time of shock and adjustment as well as personal joy. Fatigue, confusion and feelings of incompetence are as common as the delight and pride which are part of having a baby.
In this friendly, accessible guide, Christine and Peter Hill take over from where other pregnancy books stop and before baby books begin. They provide a vast amount of practical and down-to-earth guidance on:
- What to expect in hospital and afterwards at home
- How to cope with persistent crying
- Dealing with feelings of depression and isolation
- Looking after yourself as well as your baby
- How to maintain fulfilling relationships with parents and friends
- When and when not to return to work.
Drawing on the experiences of over 5,000 mothers - and fathers - with new babies, and now fully updated, this authoritative guide is both reassuring and fun to read.

Being slightly obsessed with this subject (currently on maternity leave) I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I know its a book which I will keep coming back to over the next few months, as the practical advice is great.

This is quite simply the best book on the whole pre-, ante- and postnatal experience around. I've read it time and time again during both my pregnancies and the first few months of each of my children's lives. I've given copies to countless friends and I'm back on Amazon now ordering yet another copy. The wealth of information is presented in a down to earth and reassuring way, dealing with every conceivable concern in an approachable and no-nonsense way. Thank You Christine Hill!

Format:Paperback
This book is brilliant. Guidance starts from before your baby arrives, really helping you achieve that 'Perfect Start'. It's very easy and enjoyable to read. It provides helpful advice for virtually all areas of angst with your new baby - e.g. crying, dummies, feeding. I love the reassurance that it gives - your baby will do just fine, and here's how to make sure you as the parents do too! I've given copies to loads of my friends.

Like having a stereotypical mother-in-law in your pocket...
Firstly, I can't deny that plenty of the advice given in the book is solid and sensible, however I find the author's tone aggressive and rather off putting. Read more

Has everything you need to know if you're a first time parent. Better than those big thick "bibles" that they have in bookstores. Read more
