The birth of a child brings tremendous joy into the life of the mother and the family, but this joy is often mixed with plenty of worries, doubts and anxieties about the baby's health and well-being. This is especially true if the mother is having her first baby. The biggest problem that mothers face, in the newborn period, is how to differentiate between what is normal and what is not, when to worry and when to ignore a symptom, and when to rush to the doctor. This book answers hundred such questions about the newborn ranging from feeding, massaging, travelling, medication, dos-and-do n'ts to myths and misconceptions, the environment and postnatal problems in the mother. Written in a style that is easy to read and avoiding medical and technical jargon as far as possible, this book serves as an invaluable guide for all mothers and their families.
