New Baby Therapy
Foreword
Congratulations on your new little bundle of blessing! No one could have prepared you for the wonder and joy you feel at this miracle of life and love. Neither could anyone prepare you for the fatigue and disruption and worry! Like many new parents, you might agree that this is “the best of times and the worst of times.”
Change is the order of the day: not just the diapers, of course, but your entire life. Your roles and responsibilities and priorities are changing—as are your schedule and your relationship with each other. Your baby is changing rapidly, too, growing and developing almost right before your eyes. Soon you will wonder where this precious newborn time went.
New Baby Therapy helps you to make the most—and cope with the worst—of this special time. Written by a mother of three, this little volume empathizes with the bewildering experience of having a new baby in the house, while offering tips for nurturing your infant and yourselves. May it help you to find the patience to endure, the peace to enjoy this baby who won’t be a baby for long!
