The audio edition of Your Baby Week by Week by Dr Caroline Fertleman, read by Willow Nash.


The bestselling week-by-week baby guide from birth until six months, the ultimate baby development book for new parents.

The first six months with a new baby is a special and exciting time full of milestones and new experiences.

In Your Baby Week by Week, paediatrician Dr Caroline Fertleman and health writer Simone Cave offer a practical guide to provide reassuring advice so you can be confident about your baby’s needs.

Now fully updated, each chapter covers a week of your baby's development, so you are empowered with the knowledge to care for your newborn, including:

  • How to tell if your baby is getting enough milk
  • Spotting when you need to take your baby to the doctor
  • Identifying why your baby is crying
  • How long your baby is likely to sleep and cry for
  • Tips on breastfeeding and when to wean your baby


Plus, providing guidance on when your newborn will start to recognise you, when they’ll smile and laugh for the first time and even when they’ll be old enough to prefer some people to others!

Full of all the information and tips for every parent, Your Baby Week by Week is the only guide you’ll need to starting life with your new baby.

Critic reviews

Your Baby Week By Week is a brilliant handbook for new mums. Small babies take up lots of time, particularly in the first six months, so the bite-sized approach to topics such as crying, feeding, sleeping and weaning is perfect for helping mums through all the challenges of the early days and inspiring them to feel confident.

Loved this book so simple and helpful. I don't have many people to ask what to expect or what's 'normal'. Literally, as each week my baby grew the weekly chapters were guiding me. I would have been lost without it. So easy to listen to late at night with the baby in arms. God bless Dr Caroline and Simone Cave.
