Episode of Series “PGR Series”.
Parents are likely to encounter some problems during the first few months after the birth of their child. These problems include meeting the needs of demanding babies, coping with an unsettled baby, maintaining support when tired and irritable, and simply finding some peace and quiet. Relaxation techniques are discussed, ways to handle babies are demonstrated and preparations for “baby’s” first venture “outside” by car, travel, etc are also discussed.
