The fourth trimester : understanding, protecting and nurturing an infant through the first three months

The fourth trimester Understanding, protecting and nurturing an infant through the first three months

Susan Brink, 1947-

Book - 2013

The first three months of a baby's life is an outside-the-uterus period of intense development, a biological bridge from fetal life to preparation for the real world. The fourth trimester has more in common with the nine months that came before than with the lifetime that follows.
