I remember the first year of my son’s life.  He was my first child and I was full of doubts, questions and sometimes frantic concerns.  There is so much to parenting you don’t realize you don’t know until the situation smacks you right alongside the head.  It can be frazzling, to say the least.  Coupled with the usual sleeplessness of a new parent, and those can be some downright scary times.

When we find ourselves unsure which direction to take, how serious that 100 degree fever is, or whether or not that cough means a trip to the doctor, it can be difficult to know where to turn for advice.  The Internet is a great resource, but lacks the peace of mind of having an expert telling you what you need to know.

This is where Baby 411 comes in.  Baby 411 is a treasure trove of 576 pages of parenting wisdom, coupled with pediatrician advice, to help new parents get through that first year.  While the second year and those following aren’t necessarily smooth sailing, raising a child to one year is a major milestone and fills new parents with the knowledge that they really can be parents!

Baby 411 gives concise instructions on picking a pediatrician, sleeping through the night, first-aid, nutrition, vitamin supplements, vaccinations and much, much more.  It is a step-by-step guidebook for new parents, allowing them the resources they need to decide what to do in a given situation.

Looking back on that first year, I really would have loved to have the insights offered in a book like Baby 411.  Available on Amazon Kindle for $8.52 and paperback for $10.17, Baby 411 is well worth its weight in gold.
