BOOKS ON BABY AND CHILD CARE |
To this list of recommended resources
I want to add a few books on Baby Care, especially recommended
for the first-time mothers.
When you come home from the hospital with your new baby you may
feel a bit unsure of yourself and even a bit panicky. The care
of this tiny baby is yours day and night and the realization
can seem overwhelming at times. You may have many questions and
having a reliable resource at hand may put your mind at rest
and make you feel more confident.

so many excellent books on babies and children. This easy to
read and well organized book is divided into sections by age

care, nutrition, development, sleep patterns, crying, comforting,
common concerns etc. Very encouraging and reassuring. The writer

why a child does the things he does. Full of kind advice and
simple solutions to try.
