Newborn 101

Trade Paperback

Secrets from expert nurses on preparing and caring for your baby at home

Author Carole Arsenault, a longtime labor and delivery nurse at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, now the head of her own ever-growing team of baby nurses, offers an experienced nurse's perspective on preparing for baby's arrival at home, what awaits in the hospital, and how to make the most of the birth experience.

One of Newborn 101's four sections is devoted entirely to breastfeeding, supported by Arsenault and her crew's gold-standard IBCLC certifications (the only certification recognised by hospitals), while another focuses on each of the first three months after birth, with repeating sections on feeding, sleeping, soothing, playtime, and helpful daily routines (a unique offering).
