Some things about babies, happily, will never change. They
still arrive warm, cuddly, soft, and smelling impossibly
sweet. But how moms and dads care for their brand-new
bundles of baby joy has changed—and now, so has the new-baby
bible.
Announcing the completely revised third edition of What to
Expect the First Year. With over 10.5 million copies in
print, First Year is the world’s best-selling, best-loved
guide to the instructions that babies don’t come with, but
should. And now, it’s better than ever.
Every parent’s must-have/go-to is completely updated.
Keeping the trademark month-by-month format that allows
parents to take the potentially overwhelming first year one
step at a time, First Year is easier-to-read,
faster-to-flip-through, and new-family-friendlier than
ever—packed with even more practical tips, realistic advice,
and relatable, accessible information than before.
Illustrations are new, too.
Among the changes: Baby care fundamentals—crib and sleep
safety, feeding, vitamin supplements—are revised to reflect
the most recent guidelines. Breastfeeding gets more
coverage, too, from getting started to keeping it going.
Hot-button topics and trends are tackled: attachment
parenting, sleep training, early potty learning (elimination
communication), baby-led weaning, and green parenting (from
cloth diapers to non-toxic furniture).
An all-new chapter on buying for baby helps parents navigate
through today’s dizzying gamut of baby products, nursery
items, and gear. Also new: tips on preparing homemade baby
food, the latest recommendations on starting solids,
research on the impact of screen time (TVs, tablets, apps,
computers), and “For Parents” boxes that focus on mom’s and
dad’s needs.
Throughout, topics are organized more intuitively than ever,
for the best user experience possible.
