The New Parent's Peace-of-Mind Handbook

Are you constantly wondering, "Is this normal?", "Should I worry?", or "When should I call the doctor?"

The first six months of a baby's life can be filled with joy-but also with uncertainty. A sudden cry, a change in stool, frequent feeding, hiccups, jaundice, fever, noisy breathing, skin changes, poor latch, or a family tradition can quickly leave new parents anxious and unsure of what to do.

The New Parent's Peace-of-Mind Handbook is a practical, evidence-based guide designed to help parents understand what is normal, what needs observation, what can be safely managed at home, and when medical care should not be delayed.

Written by Dr Deepthi Yadav, MBBS, DCH, Consultant Paediatrician and Evidence-Based Parenting Coach, this book brings together clinical experience, real-life parenting insight, and simple explanations for the questions new parents ask most often.

Inside, you'll find clear answers on:

• Crying, colic, gas, and evening fussiness

• Breastfeeding, latch, milk supply, and feeding frequency

• Urine and stool patterns

• Fever and when it becomes concerning

• Newborn jaundice

• Hiccups, sneezing, and noisy breathing

• Umbilical cord care

• Vaccination and common post-vaccine reactions

• Vitamin D and iron supplementation

• Skin care, bathing, diaper rash, and safe sleep

• Growth and developmental milestones

• Common Indian traditional practices-and which ones may be unsafe

• Nutrition and self-care for breastfeeding mothers

• Warning signs that should prompt medical attention

This book is especially useful for first-time parents who feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice from relatives, social media, and the internet.

Instead of fear-based information, Dr Deepthi offers something more useful: clarity, reassurance, and practical guidance.

You do not need to know everything about parenting from day one. You simply need to know what to look for, what to do next, and when to seek help.

If you want to feel more confident, less anxious, and better prepared during your baby's first six months, this book is designed to be the trusted companion you can return to again and again.

Understand your baby. Know what is normal. Recognize what is not. And know when to call the doctor.
