A Perfect Start: Or coping with the first months of parenthood
by Christine and Peter Hill

Any expectant mothers feeling anxious and unprepared should consider enrolling for classes with Christine Hill... Christine is an obstetric physiotherapist with a concern for the apprehensions, fears and idiotic queries of first-time mothers. Every week more than 100 women pass through her classroom and she answers the same questions with reassurance, common sense and humour... it is packed with sane advice.   The Times

For many parents the first few months after a baby's birth can be a time of shock and adjustment as well as personal joy. Fatigue, confusion and feelings of incompetence are as common as the delight and pride which are part of having a baby.

Christine Hill is London's leading ante-natal teacher and has been running courses since 1978. A Perfect Start is an extension of these courses - a survival guide for new parents, unique in that it focuses on how to care for yourselves, as well as for your baby. The authors take over from where other pregnancy books stop and before baby books begin. They provide a vast amount of practical and down-to-earth guidance on:

- What to expect in hospital and afterwards at home
- How to cope with persistent crying
- Dealing with feelings of depression and isolation
- Looking after yourself as well as your baby
- How to maintain fulfilling relationships with parents and friends
- When and when not to return to work.

Drawing on the experiences of over 5,000 mothers - and fathers - with new babies, and now fully updated, this authoritative guide is both reassuring and fun to read.

Bookshops are flooded with baby care bibles that can be sterile in style. The Hills add wit to the mix, in this down-to-earth book on the first months of parenthood...an accessible, fun guide   Junior Pregnancy and Baby

the perfect guide to your new life as a mum   Pregnancy and Birth

the ultimate baby guru; a no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is straight shooter who delivers both practical and medical advice with the wit of Victoria Wood   YOU magazine
