Features: The moment a soft, wrinkled baby "gurgles" and lands on the ground, it's as if angels and birds are dancing above the mother's head—no feeling can be happier than this. However, in this moment of blind happiness, as soon as the baby is brought home from the hospital, the thought of "Oh, what's wrong?" or "Why is this happening?" never ceases. The baby won't eat when hungry, but wants to keep nursing when full; it's expected to have bowel movements often, but hasn't had one in two weeks; it cries when held, and also cries when being put to sleep—what on earth does it want?! Sometimes, even the thought of "I'll just ignore you and leave you" crosses one's mind. At such moments, please take a look at this book. Young mothers who read it will, like asking "Why is this happening?" about the various things that happen to babies, be able to handle them calmly and gradually understand how to deal with the seemingly impossible "What should I do?" Raising a child is like learning to catch a ball. To help mothers become skilled at catching the ball the baby "throws," we, as mothers who have been there, have co-authored this book. Organized by month and content, it addresses the questions "Why is this happening?" and "What should I do?" for first-time mothers, helping them learn to handle the various things that happen to babies calmly.
