What to Expect the First Year | Sharon Mazel, Arlene Eisenberg
11 posts | 12 read | 3 reading | 2 to read
America's bestselling guide to caring for a baby, with over 10 million copies in print, What to Expect the First Year is the bible for taking care of a newborn though the milestone of his or her first birthday. The Second Edition incorporates the most recent developments in pediatric medicine. Every question and answer has been revisited, and in response to letters from readers, dozens of new Q&As have been added. The book is more reader-friendly than ever, with updated cultural references, and the new material brings more in-depth coverage to issues such as newborn screening, home births and the resulting at-home newborn care, vitamins and vaccines, milk allergies, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, returning to work, dealing with siblings, weaning, sippy cups, the expanded role of the father, and much more. An updated cover and all-new black-and-white line illustrations complement the fresher book with a fresher look.

A really great book. Divided into.chapters (each month of baby's life is a chapter) full of useful information. It also has chapters about baby's health and what to do if the baby in injured, tips abour travelling with the baby and others.
This really helped me during my baby's first year.

Our beautiful baby boy is born! Alexander was born August 14th at 9 lbs 5 ozs and 20 inches long. We‘ve officially survived the first week, and he‘s growing so big and healthy.

Because baby boy was born this month, I‘ve spent a lot less time on Litsy. I‘m hoping to get into a rhythm that allows me to come back soon, but for now I will keep reading on my own whenever I can!

Not book related at all, but Nina and I finally get to go home today! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 They kept us in the hospital an extra day because of Tony‘s flu, but he‘s no longer contagious and my mom was nice enough to thoroughly disinfect our house. The poor guy hasn‘t even been able to meet his daughter yet!

I did a search for the tagged book and cackled when I saw the results. I‘m sorry, *how* did the crystal meth book end up on a parenting book search??? 😂 #lmfao #talkaboutawackyalgorithm #imstillgigglinganditsbeenlikefiveminutes #imcompletelyexhaustedsothatcouldbewhythisishilarioustome #NICUmomlife #onatotallydifferentnote #hesbeingreleasedtomorrow!!!!! 👶🏻✔️

JacqMac Well, the first three months are a little rough. But I don‘t think you‘ll need meth. 😂 6y

It is beautiful out, so I am laying on a blanket reading (not the tagged book as that is a trashy romances novel not in Litsy's database) while this adorable mess of a two year old plays. I wish his sisters could be here with us. We miss them terribly.

SIX AND A HALF WEEKS, PEOPLE! We are in crunch mode. I would love to pretend I'm this relaxed all the time, but that's just crazy. Totally internally freaking out 80% of the time. 😅

wrenaymuhree Also--sorry for the not-so-bookish post. We just got photos from our friend and I 💙 them too much not to share! 😬☺️ 7y

Actually the baby bible. I wouldn't have gotten through the first few years with my niece without this and it's sequel.
