What to Expect the First Year, by Heidi Murkoff

With over 11 million copies in print, What to Expect: The First Year, is now completely revised in the third edition. This is the world’s best-selling, best-loved guide to the instructions that babies don’t come with, but should. Now, it’s better than ever. Every parent’s must-have/go-to is completely updated.

Maintaining the trademark month-by-month format that allows parents to take the potentially overwhelming first year one step at a time, First Year is easier-to-read, faster-to-flip-through, and new-family-friendlier than ever—packed with even more practical tips, realistic advice, and relatable, accessible information than before. Illustrations are new, too.
