Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781904760511 Publisher: Carroll & Brown Overview: Your Babycare Bible by Tony Waterston is a comprehensive, medically grounded reference for new and expectant parents. Written by a senior consultant paediatrician, it brings together practical guidance on feeding, sleep, development and everyday health concerns into a single trusted hardback volume.

About the Book: Structured around a detailed month-by-month guide to physical, emotional and cognitive development, Your Babycare Bible helps parents understand what to expect at each stage and when to seek support. It covers the essentials of daily babycare - feeding, bathing, sleep routines and soothing - alongside dedicated sections on recognising and managing common childhood complaints such as colic, ear infections, allergies and fevers. Fold-out reference pages set out clear, step-by-step first-aid instructions for emergencies including choking and high temperatures, designed to be found quickly under pressure. The book also addresses immunisation schedules, nutrition through weaning and beyond, safe travel with a baby, and the importance of play and age-appropriate toys in supporting early development. Throughout, Tony Waterston draws on decades of clinical paediatric experience to combine medical accuracy with genuinely practical, real-world advice, avoiding unnecessary alarm while still equipping parents to act confidently when something needs attention. It is written with an empathetic tone that acknowledges how overwhelming early parenthood can feel, offering strategies for calmer routines and reduced anxiety. Used cover-to-cover or dipped into as questions arise, it is built to be a dependable companion through the early years. Written by a senior consultant paediatrician, giving parents medically credible, trustworthy guidance in one place. Fold-out quick-reference pages for first aid and emergency babycare procedures. Month-by-month development guide to track milestones with confidence. Practical coverage of feeding, sleep, immunisation, nutrition and common childhood illnesses. Clear, reassuring tone that reduces new-parent anxiety rather than adding to it. A lasting reference book, useful well beyond the newborn stage.
