Bringing a newborn home is beautiful, exhausting, and full of questions nobody quite prepares you for.

Your Newborn: The First 3 Months Home is the guide to reach for when those questions start piling up at 2 a.m.: Is this normal? Is she eating enough? Why won't he settle? How much sleep is enough? What am I even supposed to be doing all day? And when do I actually call the doctor?

Marie O'Shea has spent 15 years in other people's homes overnight, as a postpartum and night doula, watching what really happens between midnight and six a.m. This book is what she'd tell you herself, sitting beside you at 2 a.m., tired and unsure and just wanting to know what actually matters.

Inside, you'll find:

• Feeding, burping, diapers, soothing, and the everyday care nobody warns you takes this much thought

• Your own recovery in the first days and weeks: rest, support, and what's genuinely normal

• Safe sleep, ordinary newborn behavior, and the specific signs that mean call the pediatrician

• Month-by-month development through the first three months

• Tummy time, reaching, play that's actually worth your energy, and getting outside with a baby

• Gentle, responsive sleep strategies for the three-month mark, with no cry-it-out involved

• How to build longer stretches of sleep once your baby is developmentally ready for them

• Routines that fit real life, not a schedule you'd need a whiteboard to run

• Telling the difference between something new and something that needs attention

• Looking after yourself while you're looking after someone else around the clock

Secrets of a Baby Whisperer: A Night Doula's Gentle Road to Longer Nights

This section walks through what tends to shift around three months and how to respond to it without pulling back from your baby. You'll learn how to protect the best stretch of the night, recognize when a waking doesn't need the full routine anymore, and support your baby's emerging sleep skills without ignoring feeding, growth, or her own particular timetable.

You don't need a house full of toys or a plan for every waking minute. Your face, your voice, some floor time, fresh air, and a handful of well-chosen moments do more for a baby's development than most of what gets marketed at new parents.

Because bringing a baby home is only half of what's happening.

This book doesn't lose track of you. Recovery, exhaustion, letting people help, eating something yourself, and knowing when you need support all get real space here.

There are practical tracking pages in the back too, for feeds, diapers, and sleep, because those details get impossible to remember once the days and nights start running together.

This book comes from someone who has actually been in the room, at three in the morning, with real families working through the same questions you have now. You don't need to know everything going in. You need clear information, honest support, and enough confidence to trust what you're already seeing in front of you.

If you're bringing a newborn home—or buying for someone who is—order your copy today and keep calm, experienced guidance within reach for those first three months.
