The fourth trimester has more in common with the nine months that came before than with the lifetime that follows. This comprehensive, intimate, and much-needed "operating manual" for newborns presents a new paradigm of a baby's early life that shifts our focus and alters our priorities. Combining the latest scientific findings with real-life stories and experiences, Susan Brink examines critical dimensions of newborn development such as eating and nutrition, bonding and attachment, sleep patterns, sensory development, pain and pleasure, and the creation of foundations for future advancement. Brink offers well-informed, practical information and the reasons behind her advice so that parents and caretakers can make their own decisions about how to care for a newborn during this crucial period. The Fourth Trimester assures readers that infants are as biologically capable as they are physically helpless. They thrive on what is readily available in every household: consistent, loving attention. 606 $aInfants$xCare 606 $aInfants$xDevelopment 606 $aNewborn infants$xCare 606 $aNewborn infants$xDevelopment 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aattachment. 610 $abiological bridge. 610 $abonding. 610 $acaretakers. 610 $achildbirth. 610 $achildren. 610 $aearly life. 610 $aengaging. 610 $afamily. 610 $afetal life. 610 $afourth trimester. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahealth care delivery. 610 $aintense development. 610 $aloving attention. 610 $anewborn babies. 610 $anewborn development. 610 $anewborn. 610 $anutrition. 610 $aoperating manual. 610 $apage turner. 610 $aparenting advice. 610 $aparenting babies. 610 $aparenting. 610 $apractical information. 610 $apregnancy. 610 $aself help. 610 $asensory development. 610 $asleep patterns. 615 0$aInfants$xCare. 615 0$aInfants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aNewborn infants$xCare. 615 0$aNewborn infants$xDevelopment. 676 $a649/.122 700 $aBrink$b Susan$g(Susan Frances),$f1947-$01573242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779362903321 996 $aThe fourth trimester$93848888 997 $aUNINA
