Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition of this bestselling guide offers essential advice from two pediatrician-moms. Heading Home With Your Newborn covers everything new parents need to know, from feeding and dressing, to diapering and bathing, and from crying and sleep to travel and activities. 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.

Restore "peas and harmony" to the dining table with this comprehensive guide to building successful childhood feeding strategies. Focus is placed on the food-fight challenges parents are most likely to face—such as starting babies on solid foods, dealing with picky eaters, and making healthy food choices in child-care settings and restaurants—and a wide range of winning solutions are offered. More than a simple nutrition guide, this book also addresses the behavior and development issues surrounding the feeding challenges of early childhood. With a family-sized serving of useful advice and a generous helping of humor, this resource offers invaluable food for thought and real world advice that parents can use every day.

Provides practical guidance on children''s physical, intellectual, and psychological health from birth to age eleven, and covers over 120 conditions and diseases as well as first aid.
