The Newborn Survival Guide: A Pediatrician's Guide to the First Year: Newborn Care, Sleep, Feeding, Milestones, Safety, and What Every New Parent Need (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253119556)

Becoming a parent is supposed to feel magical.

So why does it often feel confusing, overwhelming... and a little terrifying?

You bring your baby home-and suddenly you're expected to understand:
Why they're crying.
If they're eating enough.
Why they won't sleep.
And whether that rash is normal... or not.

The truth is:
Most parents aren't struggling because they're doing something wrong.
They're struggling because no one explained the basics clearly.

In The Newborn Survival Guide, a pediatrician with real-world clinical experience shares the kind of advice parents actually need-but rarely hear.

No complicated jargon.
No unrealistic expectations.
Just clear, honest, medically accurate lessons about your baby's first year.

Why newborn sleep is chaotic (and why that's normal)
Early hunger cues most parents miss
Which rashes are harmless-and which are not
The truth about milestones (and why comparison is dangerous)
What to feed-and what to avoid in the first year
Red flags you should never ignore
How to handle the emotional side of parenting, including postpartum depression
Simple, powerful habits that make parenting easier from day one

This is not a textbook.

It's the kind of guidance a pediatrician gives in the clinic-
reassuring, practical, and sometimes surprisingly honest.

Whether you're:
- A new parent
- Expecting your first baby
- Or supporting someone who is

This book will help you feel more calm, confident, and prepared.

Because in the middle of sleepless nights and constant questions, you deserve something simple:

Clear answers. Real reassurance. And the reminder that you're doing better than you think.
