Exploring Child-Care Choices (how to interview, set up, and oversee your childcare provider)

Picking the Right Equipment (from car seats to strollers to baby monitors)

Feeding the Baby (successful breast-feeding, bottle needs)

And much, much more!

Did you know that:

Women who attend childbirth classes require less medication, have fewer forceps deliveries, and frequently feel more positive about their birthing experience than women who do not take classes?

Bringing home a gift from the baby for the older sibling helps ease the adjustment process?

The best way to gauge a baby's temperature is by its belly?

Experts estimate that between 80 and 90 percent of all car seats are installed incorrectly-you can double-check installation with your local police department or state highway patrol headquarters?

Babies may not need soap during the early months-rinsing your baby in warm water may be all that is necessary?

Keep this book handy and refer to it often as the months go by. Save time, achieve peace of mind, gain excellent information, and organize your life as you await your new bundle of joy with The Expectant Mothers' Checklist!
