First Time Parent By Lucy Atkins | Parenting Book Description

Forget unrealistic childcare manuals - First Time Parent is the book you really need to help you cope brilliantly with those first chaotic days and months ahead.

As a health journalist and mother of three, Lucy Atkins is familiar with both the medical aspects of childbirth and baby development, as well as the reality of day-to-day life as an exhausted first-time parent. In her feisty, humorous style, she begins with that first mind-blowing day and addresses the issues unique to the first-time parent who stares at their newborn and thinks "Where are the instructions?"

Anticipating the questions and concerns of all new mothers (Why does my baby cry so much? Will I ever lose all this weight? Am I a bad parent?) First Time Parent by Luck Atkins provides practical advice and level-headed reassurance. It addresses the needs of the baby and, just as importantly, those of the parent during the first year of their baby's life. 

This parenting book has advice that every mum and dad can use. There are chapters on the equipment and kit you really need, as opposed to what the department store tells you. She'll show you how to cope with the first few hours coming home, bonding, how to survive the first days. How to make sure you and your baby get enough sleep. Tips on nutrition and breastfeeding and so much more! 

First Time Parent also includes information on single parenting, and on adopted, multiple and special needs babies. First-Time Parent with Lucy Atkins is on your side and reassures that you can cope brilliantly with your new baby and your new life.
