Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition of this bestselling guide offers essential advice from two pediatrician-moms.

Updates include: an updated section on baby blues and postpartum depression; added information on breastfeeding, pumping and insurance benefits; and new safety information on SIDS and car seats; new information throughout to bring all advice in line with the latest policies and recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. This parent-tested, pediatrician-approved advice will help new parents feel comfortable those first few days and weeks at home with their new baby and serve as a touch point and reference for the whole first year.
