Publisher's Synopsis
"Honest, practical and surprisingly easy to read. The perfect baby shower gift."
- Dana Paterson, Mother of Six
You've packed your bag. You've done the class. You're ready for your little miracle to arrive (and wishing they'd hurry up)!
But what happens when you leave the hospital and suddenly... you're on your own?
Full of all the things you didn't realize you needed to know, Navigating the First Six Weeks is the essential guide to living and thriving with a newborn. Designed to be both enjoyed while you're expecting, and referenced after birth, the book's easy-to-read chapters are crammed full of the things they don't tell you in antenatal class:
Answers to the big questions, like:
- What's the deal with immunization?
- Breastfeeding or Formula - what's best for you?
- How to calm a crying baby
- How much sleep will I really get? And how can I get more?
And answers to smaller questions which are just as important:
- What is my little one seeing, hearing, and learning?
- How warmly should I dress the baby?
- When can I have sex again? ... because hey, we're all human!
Featuring evidence-based information and advice from experts all around the world, Navigating the First Six Weeks offers a unique perspective on early infancy. Rigorously researched but highly readable, it's been written with only one goal in mind-to help new parents navigate the wonderful, terrifying, exhilarating, exhausting first six weeks with their child.
"The most practical, useful, straightforward baby book I have ever read."
- Anne Clarke, Midwife and Lactation Consultant
