Updated with new baby-care research, the second edition of Newborn 101 answers your most urgent questions with advice from expert baby nurses.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and your baby’s first months are some of the most cherished parts of parenthood—but they can also be nerve-racking, especially for new parents. Carole Kramer Arsenault has spent the last two decades helping parents, both as a longtime pediatric nurse and as the founder of the most highly regarded baby-care service in New England. From the first trimester to the “fourth” (baby’s crucial first three months), Arsenault and her team of nurses and doulas have seen it all.
In this expanded second edition, Arsenault shares updated research in the field of newborn care, including:
- advice from postpartum doulas about caring for your body and mind after childbirth, such as guidelines for creating your “postpartum village”
- updated recommendations for infant-care products like car seats, pajamas, and changing stations
- new medical guidelines for what to eat during pregnancy and what to feed your newborn
- expanded sections on sleep, screen time for babies, and pain medications for childbirth
Expert care can be hard to come by—now, you can enjoy the most precious moments with your newborn with this handy guide to everything from bath time to breastfeeding.
