Get answers to your most urgent questions from expert baby nurses, around the clock!
Pregnancy, childbirth, and your baby’s first months can be some of the most cherished parts of parenthood—but they can also be nerve-racking, especially for new parents. Carole Kramer Arsenault has spent the last two decades helping parents, both as a longtime pediatric nurse and as the founder of the most highly regarded baby-care service in New England. From the first trimester to the “fourth” (baby’s crucial first three months), Arsenault and her team of nurses and doulas have seen it all. In this revised second edition, Arsenault offers guidance and advice for new parents grounded in updated research, including:
- new medical guidelines for what to eat during pregnancy, and what to feed your newborn
- advice about caring for your body and mind after childbirth
- updated recommendations for infant-care products, including car seats, pajamas, and changing stations
- expanded sections on sleep coaching, breast milk, baby formula, pelvic floor therapy, and more
Expert care is hard to come by—now you and your newborn can enjoy the most precious moments, with guidance from a team of expert baby nurses who have provided personalized support for new parents for over fifteen years.
