New Baby 101 - A Midwife's Guide for New Parents

As a Midwife, Lactation Consultant, Mother and Grandmother I am often reminded that new parents need an ‘owner’s manual’ to take with them as they walk out of the hospital carrying their newborn home. New parents have so much to learn in such a short time, and every parent wants to do everything right – which no one can, of course. Even the most capable, organised parents who are well prepared for their new roles realise there is so much to learn, and they often feel totally overwhelmed by their new responsibilities. That’s why I have created New Baby 101 – A Midwife’s Guide for New Parents – Book, App, and eBook.

New Baby 101 is your ready reference to guide you through the first few months as you learn to care for your new baby. “New Baby 101 – A Midwife’s Guide for New Parents” Paperback Book is $24.95 with free postage and handling in Australia. (Click on the Paperback Book button to buy now)
