With over 11 million copies in print, What to Expect: The First Year, now in a completely revised third edition, 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.
