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).
Throughout, topics are organized more intuitively than ever, for the best user experience possible.
With over 11 million copies in print, What to Expect: The First Year is the instructions that babies don’t come with, but should. And now, it’s better than ever and is completely updated!
