Christine Hill & Peter Hill 
A Perfect Start 
Or coping with the first months of parenthood

For many parents the first few months after a baby»s birth can be a time of shock and adjustment as well as personal joy. Fatigue, confusion and feelings of incompetence are as common as the delight and pride which are part of having a baby.
In this friendly, accessible guide, Christine and Peter Hill take over from where other pregnancy books stop and before baby books begin. They provide a vast amount of practical and down-to-earth guidance on:
— What to expect in hospital and afterwards at home
— How to cope with persistent crying
— Dealing with feelings of depression and isolation
— Looking after yourself as well as your baby
— How to maintain fulfilling relationships with parents and friends
— When and when not to return to work.
Drawing on the experiences of over 5, 000 mothers — and fathers — with new babies, and now fully updated, this authoritative guide is both reassuring and fun to read.
