Some things about babies, happily, will never change. They still arrive warm, cuddly, soft, and smelling impossibly sweet. But how moms and dads care for their brand-new bundles of baby joy has changedÂand now, so has the new-baby bible. Announcing the completely revised third edition of What to Expect the First Year.
