About this title

Synopsis

Bringing Your Baby with Down Syndrome Home: A Guide to the First Month is born of a unique collaboration that fuses two vital perspectives: one from a medical doctor specializing in developmental-behavioral pediatrics, the other from a mother of a child with Down syndrome. Parent will find comfort in the mix of professional advice with the first-hand experience and insight of a parent who was in their shoes just a few years back.
