Baby Care Guides
Practical guides for the everyday jobs of baby care: clearing a blocked nose before a feed, trimming tiny nails, the first teeth, cradle cap and giving medicine without the mess. Each guide is written for Australian parents, checked against current advice from Australian health bodies, and explains what is normal, what helps at home and when to see your GP or child health nurse.
