Summary
Pediatrician and educator, Dr. Mary Ann LoFrumento has created the Simply Parenting child care series to offer parents a unique multimedia approach to parenting that helps to end the confusion and to bring childcare back to the basics.
Each book in the series is well- organized and easy to read and contains only the information that you really need to know. And included with each book is a DVD that follows your infant or child through each stage of development. All the books in the series are coordinated with the Academy of Pediatrics schedule of visits to the pediatrician.
Understanding Your Newborn and Infant, the first book and DVD in the series contains needed information about the newborn in the hospital to the baby’s first birthday.
Newborn-related topics include:
• Understanding your newborn
• Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding
• Medications and suggested supplies
• Your baby from A to Z (a soup-to-nuts resource ranging from bathing and behavior issues to sun exposure and vitamins)
• Important safety notes for your newborn (for example, never leave your baby alone on a table or near the stairs)
Age-specific (from 2-month-old to 12-month-old) infant-related topics include:
• Feeding and Nutrition
• Sleeping
• Safety
• Development
The companion DVD has three sections for each age group:
• The Two Minute BABY- what should your infant be doing at this stage of development
• Simply Playing- best activities at this age
• Safe and Sound- what safety issues are most important at this stage of development.
In addition this first DVD contains two special sections for newborns:
• Baby Care- bathing, shampooing, and skin care for the newborn
• Breastfeeding Basics- demonstrates positions for breastfeeding as well as proper techniques.
