When you were pregnant with your first child did you run out and buy the biggest book claiming to be the best guide to baby's. I know I have bought a couple of them. This book is truly amazing!! This 80 page book covers almost everything a new or experienced mother would want to know. it even has places in the book you can write notes, baby's name, birth date, weight and height. It even has a chart on milestones you can write in when your baby started that milestone. It covers from first movements to rashes, fevers, thrush, cysts, motor skills, poop, common cold, feeding, colic and everything in between. It even includes over 120 pictures and descriptions. Dr.Carey is a dad and pediatrician which is great you don't see many dads writing books like this, he's truly remarkable. My favorite parts in the book are the way out the questions you have like about poop if its normal or not. Instead of calling your predication at 3am in the morning you can look in this guide and see if there's something wrong or if something the baby ate changed it. Another part I was always wondering when my little one was still really young was her rashes well this guide has it and in pictures to see what it looks like and about it. I love this book I recommended to the fullest to new moms or even experienced moms. This book is truly a life saver!!!

“In my twenty-five years as a maternal and childcare nurse, as well as being a grandmother and great-grandmother of ten (with three being Dr. Carey’s patients), I believe that comprehensive and easily understood guidance for parents has been lacking.

Dr.Carey Quotes
“Pediatrics is very visual, yet books about baby care are not. I wish to change that. My goal in writing Dr.Carey’s Baby Care: First Year Baby Care Guide is to bring all the colorful images I see in my office to parents.”
“In a world of information overload, I aimed to keep this book short and to the point. Despite the quick read, if a picture is worth a thousand words, one might say I spoke a lot. The photos that I share in my book depict items that I am asked about every day in my office.”
“Most of the newborn rash images shown in my book are harmless, but when seen on a baby, these rashes keep many parents up at night. I feel good knowing that parents will be calmed and comforted once they can identify that mysterious rash on their baby.”
Book Quotes
Bundling (Page 33) (Swaddling image included in image folder)
“I have a secret. When I see a crying baby for the first time, I bundle him snugly, rock him gently, and peek at his parents as they wonder how I calmed their baby so quickly. Truthfully, this secret technique has been used for ages. Many authors have tried to adopt this technique as their own, but bundling is universally known and it is a skill well worth your time to master.”
Diaper Rashes (Page 43 & 44)
“Parents pride themselves on having a rash-free child. When a diaper rash does develop, we mark this as a
personal failure. Truthfully, no one is to blame. The most diligent parent will eventually be battling their child’s
diaper rash. It’s not your fault. Let’s talk about prevention and how to deal with the inevitable.”
“These three simple steps will help prevent most diaper rashes:
1. Change diapers frequently with ultra-absorbent diapers.
2. Wipe but do not scrub the skin when changing a soiled mess.
3. Apply a diaper rash cream after every diaper change.”
“This approach will keep most newborns rash-free. Despite our best efforts, rashes can still happen, and there are several different types of rashes. A few pictures of different types o diaper rashes will quickly make you a treatment expert.”
Traveling (Page 71)
“Just because you have a new baby, do not feel trapped at home. It is easier to go out with a newborn than it will be when your baby is six months old. Unless someone is coughing on your baby, you have little to be concerned about. Bundle your baby appropriately and go out. Even airplane travel is safe and very simple with a newborn. If possible offer a pacifier or feed your baby via bottle or breast during take-off and landing to reduce the possibility of ear discomfort when the pressure changes. Enjoy the world with your baby. You will be much happier not feeling trapped inside.”
