Product Description

Finding out what to expect during each week of pregnancy is easy; the shops are heaving with informative guides. Yet when the baby finally arrives and you are left to face the weeks of unpredictability and worry that a new baby brings, there are no week-by-week baby manuals to offer the advice, information and reassurance you need. Your Baby Week By Week is the guide you've been crying out for. Each chapter covers just one week of a baby's development, and, ideal for tired and anxious parents, the week is divided into sections so that you can quickly and easily skim the chapter and find the information you're looking for. It covers the basics - sleep, feeding, crying, washing, play and development - as well as being packed full of vital information and handy tips for checking a baby's progress, including: - which vaccinations he needs and when, - how much milk/feeds he needs, - planning ahead, - specific problems you may encounter, such as colic, and how to deal with them. Clearly laid out and written by two experienced mothers - one a paediatrician, the other the Daily Mirror's health editor, this is a reassuring and practical guide to help you through the crucial first six months of parenthood.

Review
A brilliant handbook for new moms. Small babies take up lots of time, particularly in the first six months, so the bite-sized approach to topics such as crying, feeding, sleeping, and weaning is perfect for helping moms through all the challenges of the early days and inspiring them to feel confident. --Elaine Griffiths, editor, ''Prima Baby''

Customer Reviews

Excellent book for first time Mums
I bought about 10 baby books! but this one was by far the best. Each chapter is based on each week of your little one's life up to 6 months and covers what you should expect about then for feeding, nappy contents, sleep and other general good tips. As a very new mum I did not have a clue, this book was such a good help. I'd definately recommend it.

Fab guide for new mums
After reading lots of different babycare books this book is a real breath of fresh air. As a new mum this guide has been really helpful. It offers information in bitesize chunks, covering all the issues you could expect during that week of your baby's life for the first 2 years of their life. It is non-judgemental and discusses all the things you might be considering from routines to dummies, listing the pros and cons so you can make your own considered judgement. It's great to be able to look ahead to the weeks to come so you have an idea of what to expect - and as the mum of a 3 week old, being able to identify a growth spurt was a real help! I would recommend this to anyone with a new baby.

My favourite baby book
What a great book for getting you through the first 6 months with your baby. It guides and helps rather than shouts and tells and the style is wonderful for easing you through. This is my first baby and I ordered this book quite late after being disappointed with the ones I had - I wish I'd had this one from the start. So nice not to be lectured on how you must do everything, but rather receive some down-to-earth advice instead.
