Written during award-winning pediatrician Dr. Scott W. Cohen s first year as a father, this book is the only one to combine two invaluable on the job perspectives the doctor s and the new parent s.

The result is a refreshingly engaging and informative guide that includes all you need to know at each age and stage of your child s first year. Drawing on the latest medical recommendations and his experiences at home and in the office, Dr. Cohen covers everything from preparing for your baby s arrival to introducing her to a new sibling, to those three basic functions that will come to dominate a new parent s life. Eat, Sleep, Poop addresses questions, strategies, myths, and all aspects of your child s development. In each instance, Dr. Cohen provides a thorough overview and a simple answer or explanation: a common sense bottom line, yet he doesn t dictate. The emphasis is on doing what is medically sound and what works best for you and your baby. He also includes fact sheets, easy-to-follow diagnosis and treatment guides, and humorous daddy vs. doctor sidebars that reveal the learning curve during his fi rst year as a dad.

Lively, practical, and reassuring, Eat, Sleep, Poop provides the knowledge you need to parent with confidence, to relax and enjoy baby s fi rst year, and to raise your child with the best tool a parent can have: informed common sense.
