The First-Time Parent Book By Lucy Atkins

$22.95

Anticipating the questions and concerns of all new mothers—Why does my baby cry so much? Will I ever lose all this weight? Am I a bad parent because . . .?—this guide provides practical advice and level-headed reassurance for new parents. Subjects include the lowdown on the equipment you really need (as opposed to what the department store tells you), advice on how to cope with the first few hours, and secrets to surviving the first few days. A section on crying covers why your baby cries, what to do about it, and why you’ll want to cry, too, while the section on eating covers breastfeeding, supplemental feeding, moving to solids, and nutrition. The stages of a baby’s physical and mental development are outlined, as are ideas for play that are actually fun. Information on single parenting, adopted, multiple, and special needs babies are also included.

First-Time Parent Book By Lucy Atkins

‘A great book for any first-time parent.’ Sarah Beeny.

Practical, realistic advice from someone who’s been there (three times). this is the thinking person’s guide to the first year, helping you through day-to-day life as an exhausted parent, from how to change a nappy to ‘is baby yoga really worth the effort?’ First-Time Parent book covers all the basics – sleep, food, crying (you and your baby), health, relationships, and work. Above all, it is on your side because most of the time the real expert is you. I wrote this book because I couldn’t take being patronized by paranoid baby guides pushing silly agendas. This is the first-time parent book I wished I’d had the first time around.
