  • Age- and stage-appropriate guidance on feeding and eating, naps and night-time sleep, baby care and playing, and more
  • How to tackle common first-year challenges, including soothing a crying baby, recognizing hunger and sleep cues, teething and spitting up, starting solids and gagging, feeding and sleeping challenges, stranger anxiety, and more
