Description
The first year with your first baby is like being in a strange and often bewildering new world. In this time your baby will grow from a tiny, helpless creature who seems only to feed, sleep and cry, into a happy, communicative, active little companion. And you will change from being often anxious and always tired to being relaxed, confident and proud.
First Baby, First Year deals honestly and informatively with the emotional and practical aspects of these first challenging months. Written with the help of more than 100 parents, it covers:
• the adjustments both parents must make to their new roles;
• the emotional and physical needs of the baby;
• practical aspects of baby care;
• problems with feeding, sleeping and crying;
• common questions about health and baby care.
Tessa Copland is a mother and freelance journalist. The idea for First Baby, First Year developed at the same time as her second pregnancy, and the manuscript was completed within days of the birth of her daughter.
Tessa lives in Christchurch with her husband, six-year-old son, Dan, and baby daughter, Sylvie.
