About this title

Synopsis

A ‘Biddulph-like’ witty and spaciously-designed survival guide which is both practical and celebratory.

Written by two generations of one family with illuminating case studies, tips and practical ideas – as well as a sensitive look at emotional issues -
this lightly humorous book has a user-friendly, lively design and hilarious cartoons. There are also practical line illustrations to accompany step-by-step essential procedures from happy changing and preparing baby milks. The guide is a good introduction to grandparents who want to be up-to-date with the modern style of parenting and new technological innovations.

Covers everything from nappies to car seats, methods of discipline, sleep, feeding. It also offers advice on how to offer the best kind of support and advice without the parents of a new baby feeling crowded or criticised.

Includes full coverage of the grandfather’s experience as well.
