Description
For first-time parents, the reality of caring for a new baby can be overwhelming. Lucy Atkins, a health journalist and mother-of-three, understands both the medical aspects of childbirth and baby development, as well as the day-to-day challenges of parenting. This book provides practical advice and reassurance, addressing the needs of both the baby and the parent during the first year of life. From equipment and kit to coping with the first few hours, sleep, feeding, and development, Atkins offers level-headed guidance on navigating the first year. The book also covers topics such as health considerations, adapting to new life, and coping with changes in the mother-father relationship. With its focus on real-life experiences and practical advice, The First-Time Parent is a reassuring companion for new parents.
