The all-in-one guide to the fourth trimester

Now Available: English & Spanish Baby-Friendly Editions
Perfect for Baby-Friendly facilities and programs, these editions:

Why This Book Stands Out
Settling In with Baby combines essential content from Breastfeeding Your Baby and Newborn Care books, along with a chapter for postpartum recovery.
The Baby-Friendly edition exclusively promotes breastfeeding is the primary means of infant feeding and does not include content on bottle or formula feeding, which is available separately as a dedicated handout.

Great thorough information without being overwhelming.
This is the second time I’ve purchased the Settling in with Baby booklets and I intend to purchase many more in the future. As a postpartum doula I find this to be a thorough, yet concise, view into what to expect after a baby is born. It touches on numerous topics in an easy to digest way, so as not to make it overwhelming for families already taking in a lot of information during pregnancy!
I love all the pictures … answers so many questions FTMs have
As a new Maternity nurse, this is one of the resources I feel will be most beneficial in providing support to expecting parents! Easy to understand and well organized!

Excellent
Plumtree had sent me a free sample of the book and I found it very informative. I’m also finding that my doula clients need an additional class on how to take care of baby. So I purchase the class and books.
Great! I like using this packet in my classes
The Prenatal care Booklets and other postpartum & newborn booklets that I purchased were extremely informative and breaks down each topic in easy to understand info and the graphics are amazing! Will definitely purchase more products for my new/renewing families in the future.
Excellent, Plumtree. Thank you!
Has brought the class room experience to a new level.
This is a great book. I like that it provides non biased information when it comes to controversial newborn topics such as vaccines and circumcision.
These books are beautiful, well put together and with evidence based information.
I love how this booklet presents information in a neutral, unbiased way. It's perfect for my hospital and home birth clients.
This is single-handedly, one of the best Postpartum resources on the market. I purchase one for every single one of my birth Doula clients… And they love it! It has great pictures and explanations of things that they need to know after the baby is arrived.
My clients loved it and thought it was super easy to use and read!
Having the Plumtree workbooks has really been a helpful resource for me and my clients. While I tend to teach beyond what's in the workbooks, they provide a good launching off point for conversation and cover some of the core material that new parents should know. I appreciate Plumtree for creating these resources.
The materials I have used through Plumtree have always been so informative and empowering for couples. It includes everything parents need to be equipped and educated about their birth, labor and postpartum. The graphics are extremely helpful to reveal the process and provide what couples need to gain knowledge, as well as, coping skills to have the best possible outcomes!
We love the professional look and straightforward content that the pregnancy, labor, and postpartum books have to offer. They were easy to order and came in a timely manner. Definitely will be buying from PlumTree again in the future!
I got Preparing for Birth and Settling in with Baby. Great reference books, and I appreciate the pictures/illustrations. And they shipped quickly!
My doula recommended this book, and my partner and I LOVED it. Now we buy it as a gift for other new parents. It presents evidence-based information in a clear, concise, and empathetic way. The infographics are very interesting. Many times when we were confused about what was going on with our brand new baby, we reached for this book and it helped settle our nerves and grow into being confident new parents. I know a grandparent who found the book super helpful too. 100% recommend to others waiting to welcome a new little baby into their lives.
As a doula, I enjoy using your Preparing for Labor and Settling in with Baby materials with birth clients. Thanks for the wonderful layout and information!
Great information.
a good, simple, comprehensive guide!
The course is packed with information and easy to follow action steps. I'm very pleased with this purchase and recently renewed so I can continue studying.
my fav books for my clients
Excellent! I have enjoyed the ease of use with all of the Plumtree Educational items I have purchased! The content is evidence based and well laid out. I am a Registered Nurse, Lactation Consultant and Birthing Educator and I have vetted the market intensely, these are the best educational items you will find!
I order these books for my students. The direct shipping was much more convenient than ordering them individually (especially since it’s the same price). Can you please revert to being able to enter multiple addresses as one time? Thank you
Plumtree Baby provides excellent support resources that can serve a number of functions in doula support and childbirth education. I will continue to use these resources for childbirth education and supporting my doula clients!
Quick shipping, very good material with helpful pictures. Great for my doula business.
I am a doula mentoring other doulas. I am providing them resources to get started. I felt thuis book was a good resource for them to have when they are supporting families . Thank you!
