The First Year

The complete month-by-month guide through your baby's first year.

The first year is overwhelming: every month a new phase, new questions, new uncertainties. This reference work guides you — from the first week at home to the first birthday. Not just scattered tips, but one calm, complete guide that you'll keep by the crib all year long.

What you'll learn

• Per month: what your baby can do now, needs, and is developing
• Sleep, feeding, and routine per age phase — what's realistic and what isn't
• Understanding crying behavior: when it's normal and when to seek help
• Milestones without panic: the range of normal development
• Home safety per phase — from rolling over to crawling to standing
• Your own recovery and emotions in each quarter of the baby year

Includes

• 12 monthly chapters with clear summaries
• Fillable milestone cards per month
• Sample routine schedules for 0–3, 3–6, 6–9, and 9–12 months
• Well-baby clinic checklist: what questions to ask when
