-
You and Your Newborn Baby is a concise, sensitive guide to newborn care, postpartum recovery, and the art of becoming a family. A childbirth educator for 22 years, Linda Todd explains the tests and procedures administered to new babies, their sensory and motor skills and sleep-wake patters, and the basics of both breastfeeding and bottle feeding. She guides new mothers through the numerous physical and emotional changes women experience after giving birth, including “birth work,” the process of making sense of what happened during one’s labor. She offers advice on keeping marital relationships strong through this challenging period, and on keeping siblings happy. Drawings and charts help to make the book a handy reference for sleep-deprived parents.
