If you ever wished your newborn came with an owner’s manual The Better Way to Care for Your Baby is it. Nationally recognized pregnancy and baby care expert Robin Elise Weiss, L.C.C.E, ICCE, provides sage advice for your biggest concerns regarding your baby’s growth and development, as well as solutions to everyday issues such as feeding, sleeping, and playtime.

 

Broken down in a helpful month-by-month format each chapter includes:

More than 150 full-color photos and illustrations give you plenty of visual references and step-by-step instructions. You’ll also get the latest information on hot, and widely debated, topics such as infant feeding, allergies, immunizations, developmental play, and more.

 

 

Robin Elise Weiss, L.C.C.E., C.D. (DONA) is a childbirth and postpartum educator, certified doula, and lactation counselor as well as the pregnancy and childbirth expert for About.com. She is the author of seven books on pregnancy and childbirth. She and her work have been featured in Newsweek, Working Mother, and American Baby. She is the mother of eight children.

“I predict that this practical, helpful book will be a dog-eared companion to many new parents. It is an authoritative guide to all aspects of infant care from growth to behavior and development. Best of all, Robin Weiss’ reassuring voice and nurturing style makes it feel you have a wise friend at hand to help you anytime, day or night.” —Elizabeth Pantley, Bestselling author of the No-Cry parenting book series, including the classic book on sleep, The No-Cry Sleep Solution

Robin gives a pretty unbiased view of bringing up baby, however, she does mention co-sleeping, attachment parenting, baby-wearing, breastfeeding all in a positive light. All of which I liked. She has Hot Mama tips, Affirmation quotes and Mama Moments in her sidebars throughout the book to offer encouragement to moms desiring to get back in shape, on baby’s development and mama’s mothering. The photos of the mothers and babies throughout the book are beautiful - THEFASHONABLEBAMBINO.COM
