Book excerpt: The saying "babies don't come with a manual" may be true―but newborn books are a good place to start. Parenting is a process of phases and milestones, and newborn books are invaluable. Each new stage, as important as the last, serves as a building process for years of parental education and care. Newborn care will gently and sequentially lead you through each week of caring for a newborn in the first three months―the weeks and months that can be both exhilarating as well as nerve-racking. From how to prepare your home prior to baby's arrival, to both parents' contributions to the stages of early development, this standout in newborn books prepares you for all of the challenging situations to come. This is not just a biological mother's physical prep; it's a trustworthy source of bottom-line, practical information as you navigate each new and exciting day.
