Pregnancy & Babycare

by Alison Mackonochie

Published 30 September 2001
This is a comprehensive guide to every aspect of having a baby, from conception, through pregnancy and birth, to detailed care of the baby during it's first all-important first year. Part One, "Pregnancy", is a detailed coverage of what to expect from fertilization to the birth; a month-by-month photographic approach, with at-a-glance features on what to expect that month - from changing shape to deciding on ante-natal choices, clinic visits, and preparing for the baby. Part Two, "Babycare", is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about coping with a new baby: feeding, changing, bathing, simple medical advice and learning how to understand their needs. Part Three, "The First Year", is a month-by-month guide on how your baby develops, charting their physical and mental progression, advising on common problems, and how you can gently encourage them as their senses develop.
