Blythe Lipman, co-author of Help! My Baby Came Without Instructions

My best advice comes in my newly released book "In the Beginning with Baby". It is short, easy-to-read, and covers many common, everyday 'new baby' issues. Check it out at www.borders.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, or www.authorhouse.com. ISBN 9781452013091
