Features: Ranked on the Top of the Bestselling Pregnancy and Childcare Books in the USA! The arrival of a newborn is like the birth of the sun for parents. The radiance of the sun brings them joy, but also the hustle and bustle of being new parents. Please open this book amidst the chaos, as it will help new parents gain all the knowledge they need to care for babies aged 0-2 years in every aspect. It will help you understand the progress your baby will make each month and at each stage of growth, and will prevent you from worrying about your baby's growth being different from that of their peers. It will provide new parents with abundant "knowledge" and "common sense." [Excerpt:] Before your baby learns to use the toilet, you will change approximately 5,000 diapers for them. Besides feeding the baby with milk and food, changing diapers is the most frequent interaction you have with them. Don't view changing diapers as a tedious but necessary chore. Changing diapers can be a wonderful experience for both you and the baby. Changing diapers is not just about making the baby's bottom dry after being wet. During this time, the baby can also feel your touch, hear your voice, see your face, and respond to your giggles (and you will respond to the baby's as well). Before starting to change the diaper, you should establish a sense of closeness with the baby. Focus on the baby rather than the act of changing the diaper. Reserve special expressions, songs, and massages for diaper-changing time, so the baby knows that besides getting a clean diaper, there are other fun things to look forward to. If your baby is cared for by someone else, make sure to convey this method of changing diapers to them.
