Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

When pediatrician Dr. Bob Hamilton's video showing how to soothe a crying infant hit the web, he became a YouTube sensation, garnering over 15 million views in ten days. With 7 Secrets of the Newborn Dr. Hamilton brings parents clear, sensible, warm advice on the first year with baby. Dr. Hamilton covers topics such as: * Sleeping (teach them gently to do it themselves)* Vaccinations (get them, all of them)* Breast feeding (wonderful for baby, if possible for mom)* Screen time (don't do it!)* Eating (let them make a mess) * Crying (the famous "hold")* Clothes (completely optional for the first six months)* Toys (simple and cheap are best) Dr. Hamilton brings 30 years' experience as a pediatrician, father, and grandfather to the page. His advice is science-based, slightly retro, and strives for a supportive and healthy growing environment for babies AND parents. With Dr. Bob, parents will be prepared to face baby's first year with common sense, confidence, and calm.
