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.
