Using the familiar format of a user manual, this practical guide transforms the overwhelming first year of parenting into an approachable, easy-to-follow instruction manual complete with troubleshooting tips, schematic diagrams, and step-by-step guidance from pediatrician Dr. Louis Borgenicht and coauthor Joe Borgenicht.
The bestselling guide covers everything new parents need to know, from swaddling and feeding to sleep routines, safety concerns, developmental milestones, and emergency maintenance. The result is a refreshingly straightforward baby book that delivers real parenting advice without the dense jargon or judgment often found in traditional parenting guides.
- Perfect for first-time parents, expecting couples, dads, and baby shower gifting
- Expert insight from a board-certified pediatrician
- Humorous and easy-to-reference diagrams that make stressful parenting moments feel more manageable
