Baby Care Basics

by Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, Norman Saunders

Despite all the planning in the world, nothing can really prepare a soon-to-be new parent for that big step after the baby is born. All that well-intentioned information and counsel offered by family and friends is just not enough and likely confusing when the stressful days arrive.

Written by leading pediatric experts in a friendly, easy-to-understand style, Baby Care Basics offers a comprehensive guide to help parents make the right choices for that new baby.

In full color, the book is engaging and user-friendly. It covers all the essential topics from a baby's birth, first few days, growth, development, breast-and formula-feeding, introducing solid food, to sleeping through the night and much, much more.

Having easy and quick access to this comprehensive information is so important in getting started on parenting and establishing a routine that works for all.

Very thorough and well-organized with excellent presentation. Honestly found myself enjoying it in parts, which I didn't expect. Great photos, both of cute babies and of the apparently endless rashes they get. On a personal note, babies are horrifying and I'm actually more terrified than I was before, but I see the appeal now. Highly recommend.

I have very little experience with babies and will have one in about a month. Informative, easy to read primer on baby care

So helpful.

Quite formal. Just the facts, good reference for illness.

[Bronwyn]

Essential reading for clueless, terrified first time moms with a newborn.

[Lillian]

good guide for new parents. lots of information in easy digestible pieces, not overwhelming at all. love that it is written by doctors at Toronto's sick kids hospital, so you know it is current and reliable information.

[Andrea Nair]

This is a must-read for parents of babies. The pediatric team from The Hospital for Sick Children very thoroughly answers the questions parents will have during the first year of their baby's life.

Great photos, fairly high level and strictly fact-based.
