For First Time Mums, Look What I Discovered! Posted: 09-25-05 03:10am
Was looking for a baby book when my
husband found this very informative and
comprehensive book. The title is new
babycare book, a practical guide to the
first three years by Dr. Miriam stoppard.
Since this is our first baby, I thought
that ante-natal classes will be sufficient
enough to learn all the things to prepare
me for my pregnancy and birth of my baby.
I never thought that there are still
loads and loads of things to learn more on
being a new parent.
The book has loads of interesting topics
i.E., essential equipment for outings,
travels, newborn behaviour, clothing,
holding and handling a baby, nappies,
bathing, feeding, sleeping and even
suggestions on how to arrange your nursery
and how to convert it to a toddler's room
eventually.
The most interesting and very informative
topic for me was the subject of "newborn
babies". It explains that sensitive
parts of baby's body i.E., fontanelle;
condition of the baby when they are born;
colour of the eyes; lip blisters; the
skin; jaundice; weals and rashes; stools;
sounds; hiccups, etc.
I am pretty sure there are other very good
baby books but I suggest you look at this
one too. It has loads of pictures and
covers not only the 1st year but the first
3 years of your baby. Since we bought
it, I never stopped reading it.
