The fourth trimester has more in common with the nine months that came before than with the lifetime that follows. This comprehensive, intimate, and much-needed \"operating manual\" for newborns presents a new paradigm of a baby's early life that shifts our focus and alters our priorities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining the latest scientific findings with real-life stories and experiences, Susan Brink examines critical dimensions of newborn development such as eating and nutrition, bonding and attachment, sleep patterns, sensory development, pain and pleasure, and the creation of foundations for future advancement. Brink offers well-informed, practical information and the reasons behind her advice so that parents and caretakers can make their own decisions about how to care for a newborn during this crucial period. \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Trimester\u003c\/i\u003e assures readers that infants are as biologically capable as they are physically helpless. They thrive on what is readily available in every household: consistent, loving attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Brink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520267125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520267121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Susan Brink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994112753919,"sku":"9780520267121","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb468c03-9711-4ee6-853d-4c6095127f42.jpg?v=1683328200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fourth-trimester-susan-brink-9780520267121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
