The Baby Rules: The Insider's Guide to Raising Your Parents

Out of the mouths of babes (literally!) comes this indispensable bible of infant-tested, baby-approved tips for perplexed parents who find themselves wondering why their new bundle of joy came with less instructions than their remote control. Who better to provide the real skinny on your baby's first year than the "experts" themselves -- babies who've been there, drooled on that. Here, in simple language so sleep-deprived grown-ups can understand, they've assembled insiders' tips on the first-year essentials for ensuring a safe and happy home: the do's and don'ts of diapering, feeding, nursing and bottle-feeding, bathing, sleeping (and not sleeping!), teething, baby-proofing and much more. Readers will find practical answers to the questions babies have overheard mystified parents utter, including: "Is he crying because he's hurt or he's hungry? How will we ever get her to sleep through the night? When will he start eating more food than he's wearing? Should I worry because she isn't talking yet?"
