The Second Baby Book

The book begins with the obvious question: when is the right time to add another member to the family? It then goes on to examine the specific issues that can arise with a second pregnancy and birth; the common concerns about siblings; such as how to prepare your firstborn for what's to come; how to cope with the practicalities of life with two young children (aka actually managing to get anything done!); and the feelings parents are likely to experience; too.

The Second Baby Book examines all the questions and issues Sarah herself faced second time around; as well as sharing the experiences of the many parents who have sought her advice. It also highlights what scientific studies reveal about such issues as the spacing of children and the differences between first and second births. Practical; insightful and honest; this book will help you understand the challenges ahead but; more importantly; it will equip you to meet them with knowledge; confidence and a sense of excitement for the future.
