What to Expect the First Year: (Updated in 2024)

Heidi Murkoff

Updated regularly, America's baby bible answers all your questions.

  • How can I get my baby to tell night from day?
  • Is my breastfed baby getting enough to eat?
  • When should I start solids? And what should I start with?
  • When will my baby sleep through the night?
  • Will my colicky baby ever stop crying?
  • What are the best toys for my baby?
  • Is it okay to let my baby play with my smartphone?
  • Should I buy organic for my baby?
With nearly 12 million copies in print, What to Expect: The First Year is the world's best-selling, best-loved guide to the instructions that babies don't come with, but should. Keeping the trademark month-by-month format that allows parents to take the potentially overwhelming first year one step at a time, First Year is easy to read, fast to flip through and packed with practical tips, realistic advice, and relatable, accessible information. Including: Baby care fundamentals like crib and sleep safety, feeding, vitamin supplements; support for breastfeeding (getting started and keeping it going). Hot-button topics and trends are tackled: attachment parenting, sleep training, early potty learning (elimination communication), baby-led weaning, and green parenting (from cloth diapers to non-toxic furniture). There are tips on preparing homemade baby food, the latest recommendations on starting solids, research on the impact of screen time (TVs, tablets, apps, computers)--and so much more.
