New Baby 101 - A Midwife's Guide for New Parents

As a Midwife, Lactation Consultant, Mother and Grandmother I am often reminded that new parents need an ‘owner’s manual’ to take with them as they walk out of the hospital carrying their newborn home. New parents have so much to learn in such a short time, and every parent wants to do everything right – which no one can, of course.  Even the most capable, organised parents who are well prepared for their new roles realise there is so much to learn, and they often feel totally overwhelmed by their new responsibilities.  That’s why I have created New Baby 101 – A Midwife’s Guide for New Parents – Book and eBook.

New Baby 101 is your ready reference to guide you through the first few months as you learn to understand and care for your new baby.   “New Baby 101 – A Midwife’s Guide for New Parents” Second Edition Paperback Book is $20.00 including GST plus $3.50 postage and handling within Australia.
