Description
How difficult can it be to wash and dress a newborn baby by yourself? How do you breastfeed when you’re not even sure which end of the baby to hold?
As a GP and mother of three, Dr Dawn takes you through the steep learning curve of becoming a parent, looking at the basics of feeding, changing and bathing. This reassuring book tells you what to expect, covering everything from nappy rash and sore nipples to premature babies, coping with twins and dealing with emergencies.
Dr Dawn says, ‘There is nothing quite so wonderful as watching your baby grow and develop. There are so many firsts with a new baby. I also know that, with every development, new anxieties and questions arise, which is why I wanted to write this book. I hope it will help you enjoy your baby and his or her first year to the full, although if you are at all worried about anything, do contact your GP or midwife and get any concerns checked out by a health professional.’
