10 Resource Guides All About Newborns
One of the most well-stocked areas of any local bookstore is the
parenting section; particularly the shelves dedicated to the care of
newborns. First time parents often have no practical experience with
babies, and want to educate themselves as much as possible before their
little one arrives. These ten resource guides are among the most popular
with moms and medical professionals alike.

Sharon Mazel, Arlene Eisenberg, Sandee Hathaway) – In the world of
