New mom Judy Morris, and Beth Iovinelli, labor nurse and lactation consultant, help women enjoy a happy, healthy pregnancy and first year with advice on everything from whether or not hair dye is dangerous for an unborn child (certain techniques are better than others) to whether or not you can spoil an infant (in a word, no). Anecdotes from moms everywhere add a chorus of terrific, tried-and-true suggestions, including: .
What to pack in a hospital bag (not last year's jeans). .
