A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As the husband of a family doctor, Andrew always thought having a baby would be problem-free - like helping a kitchen installer install a kitchen. Unfortunately, as he and his wife soon discovered, babies don't always read the textbooks.

Plunged into a mysterious world of baby snot-suckers and nipple tweaking, off-the-scale blood tests and impromptu bodily leaks, they faced the usual concerns - How will we afford it? And will we ever sleep again? But they also met with some unexpected questions: Can babies really suffer 'cold crack trauma' from unwarmed wet wipes? What do you do when their favourite teddy goes walkabout? And how do you escape a breastfeeding teacher armed with a hand pump determined to prove she can milk a man?

This is a story about the most turbulent time in any couple's life. It's for every woman wondering what their partner s really thinking, and for every man wanting reassurance but unsure who to ask. It's for every mum who s torn herself up about returning to work, and for every dad wondering what s the point of her breasts growing if he's not allowed to touch them.

Warm, honest and funny, this is the book for every new parent who suspects that the reference books just can t tell you everything.
