The voice is friendly, supportive, and authoritative, taking parents month by month through the first year of their baby's life, and beyond. They have questions: When can my baby start solids? Are walkers safe for my baby? How can I help my baby lose her fear of the bath? This month my baby has forgotten skills he learned last month--is there something wrong with him? The book has answers. Plus full information on starting baby on solids, traveling with baby, environmental hazards, doctor's check-ups, immunizations, first aid, and childhood illnesses and their treatment.
