Written during award-winning pediatrician Dr. Scott W. Cohenâs first year as a father, this book is the only one to combine two invaluable âon the jobâ perspectivesâthe doctorâs and the new parentâs.
The result is a refreshingly engaging and informative guide that includes all you need to know at each age and stage of your childâs first year. Drawing on the latest medical recommendations and his experiences at home and in the office, Dr. Cohen covers everything from preparing for your babyâs arrival to introducing her to a new sibling, to those three basic functions that will come to dominate a new parentâs life. Eat, Sleep, Poop addresses questions, strategies, myths, and all aspects of your childâs development. In each instance, Dr. Cohen provides a thorough overview and a simple answer or explanation: a âcommon sense bottom line,â yet he doesnât dictate. The emphasis is on doing what is medically sound and what works best for you and your baby. He also includes fact sheets, easy-to-follow diagnosis and treatment guides, and humorous daddy vs. doctor sidebars that reveal the learning curve during his fi rst year as a dad.
Lively, practical, and reassuring, Eat, Sleep, Poop provides the knowledge you need to parent with confidence, to relax and enjoy babyâs fi rst year, and to raise your child with the best tool a parent can have: informed common sense.
