Brought to you by Penguin.

The book you can trust to guide you through the highs and lows of parenthood.


Whether you're preparing for your baby to arrive, have just welcomed your little one into the world, or are well into the fourth trimester, this nurturing guide will ensure you feel supported and informed throughout your baby's first year.

Following on from where The Modern Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond left off, this book will take you through the first 48 hours after birth up until your baby's first birthday.

From postpartum recovery to establishing a routine and looking out for signs to start weaning, Marie Louise will guide you through each stage of your baby's development. Packed with interesting facts, the most up-to-date insights and bringing together a whole host of childcare experts, you'll find everything you need to feel calm and confident about the exciting months ahead.
