Caring For Your Baby Anthony Ekanem

If someone asks me to name one miracle that exists on planet earth, I would say the miracle of bringing forth a human being into the world. I did not know how beautiful it to be a parent until I saw my wife go through the whole process of pregnancy and childbirth to our first child that brought happiness to our lives. Being a parent is a challenging responsibility to shoulder, and I congratulate you on being one. In this hard but beautiful journey of raising a baby, we would do with all the help we could get. The reason I decided to write this book is to help parents with problems that may arise with a newborn baby. I know how difficult it may be when you have a baby, and you don't have your mother around to answer your questions. Hopefully, this book will help answer those questions that have been bothering your mind. In the Caring for Your Baby, you will learn: 1. What a new mother can expect in the days following childbirth2. How to cope with the depression that a new mother may feel after giving birth 3. How to breastfeed your new baby 4. How to bathe your baby properly5. Reasons your baby may cry 6. How to make your baby sleep well 7. How to choose a paediatrician for your baby 8. How to use music to soothe your baby 9. The foods your baby should eat at different stages of their first year 10. The kinds of noises your baby may make (and what they mean)11. The movements your baby will make before learning to walk12. How to help your baby develop their coordination skills 13. How to help your baby socialise early14. Teething and what you can do to make it less painful for your new baby.15. Important considerations about vaccines and which ones you should get for your baby 16. Common illnesses that may affect your baby17. The play-things you can give your child at different stages of their development. This book will help you to make the most out of your baby's first year by giving you basic guidelines and milestones to measure your progress. There is so much information available out there for new parents that it sometimes seems as less information is better. You must determine what works best for you and your baby.
