So you're a new parent . . . or maybe your baby hasn't arrived
yet. Either way, you probably feel unprepared for many of the
challenges that lie ahead. There are so many new things to
consider, from finding a pediatrician or support group to locating
great web sites for your middle-of-the-night questions. The list
seems endless! Our New Parent Resource Guide 2003 has arrived just
in time to answer all your questions and find the help and support
you need. This guide has been completely updated and contains a
comprehensive listing of classes, support groups, and resources
for new parents. Congratulations, and welcome to the wildly
unpredictable (but infinitely rewarding) world of parenthood!
