The New Baby: Birth to 18 months
The New Baby: Birth to 18 months
A baby is such a small thing to make such a big difference in your life.
Soft and cuddly, the new baby is something to be proud of. But the
little one also means 2 [a.m.] feedings, rashes and
drooling, and diapers that always are wet. First tooth, first fever,
first step, first fall—they are all part of your new baby. But they
are also part of a very special challenge that you as a parent
accept—the challenge of guiding and helping your child become a strong
and independent human being who will someday also want to accept a real
challenge.
