Publisher's summary

How prepared are you to guide your baby through the first and most important year of his life?

There’s nothing quite like a baby’s first months of life, as they are arguably the ones that will have the most impact throughout their entire development.

First-time parents and veterans agree that the first year can be one of the most challenging stages to face.

Here's some of what you can expect to learn inside the pages of this book:

  • How to properly feed your baby for optimal development and health throughout the first year
  • Discover how to avoid having endless sleepless nights by sleep-training your child
  • Learn how to avoid common mistakes that parents make that can end up harming their baby's development in the long-term
  • How to properly deal with separation anxiety and make it much easier on your child, and you
  • The biggest challenges parents face in the first year and how to easily overcome them

Would you like to enjoy going through every stage of your child's development without worrying if you're doing the right thing or not?

The earlier you manage to give proper guidance and care, the easier it is for babies to grow into healthy children. However, there is no such thing as being too late, and even tricky behaviors and habits can be helped.

Increase confidence in your parenting abilities. Start by taking care of your baby the proper way from the moment he arrives home for the first time!

Very enjoyable!

This book is my bible for now. Raising a child with this book by my side makes parenting less hard and more enjoyable. I would recommend the book to anyone who is having hard time parenting the new born baby.

Provides helpful instructions

Awesome listen from this audible. I love the approach that it takes when referring to the baby, and still includes sound suggestions, advice and instruction. My son and his wife ate highly competitive and I can easily imagine him comparing this book to her "What to Expect the 1st Year" I truly hunk the layout/approach is perfect for any new parent, but Dads especially, as it lends a comfortable frame of reference and terms.

Found very helpful

Such a cute book! I was recently asked to be a parent and know absolutely nothing about kids. This book was very helpful and broke everything down in a very easy way to understand. Loved the diagrams and charts. Easy to listen and reference, and the added humor made it fun and less dry than other options.

Excellent basic book for new parent

My daughter loves this book (and the pregnancy/birthing book) - over all the overs. Big disclaimer, it is all for attachment parenting. However, it discuss developmental milestones, behavioral issues, touches on medical issues, etc. Excellent basic book for a new parent.

Purely informative

This book is purely informative and doesn’t take a stance on how you should raise your child which I found to be nice. It’s perfect for learning the basics and has a lot of answers to questions New parents might have.

Amazing book!

Amazing book! Saved my life when my four month old was waking every one-two hours for an entire month. I continue to reference with my two year old and am rereading before my newborn arrives!

Great information

This is a great listen for new parents! I'm still following along with it since my baby isn't a year old yet and it covers almost all my inquiries. From safety(don't skip this and assume you know it all already--there's always something you'll overlook), to skin conditions, to Breastfeeding tips, etc... The only thing I was unable to find was a part covering sleep regression. I realize it's a book, not an encyclopedia so it can't cover everything! But for that reason I decided to knock off a star since it's a pretty big deal. Overall great information in a clear, cut to the chase style.
