Features: As any mother knows, behind the joy and happiness of motherhood lie many worries, doubts, anxieties, and restlessness—concerns about the baby's eating, sleeping, and elimination, about every expression and movement, or about inexplicable crying, about irregular meal times and disrupted sleep patterns, about every minor illness or injury, every scrape or bump, and even more about the baby's intellectual development and education. There are simply too many to list, and it's impossible to say them all in a few days. Looking back on the days and nights of the baby's growth, every mother experiences a mix of joy, pride, and accomplishment at seeing the baby grow healthy and happy day by day, but also some reflections, regrets, and remorse—wishing that she had known more about the baby's upbringing and education, had better grasped each developmental milestone, had paid closer and more timely attention to the baby's growth signals. With this knowledge, she could have done more for the baby, done it better, and her baby would have been healthier, smarter, and more outstanding. That's why we wrote this book, hoping to share it with all expectant and new mothers to learn how to be a good mother.
