The first year with a baby can feel like a constant stream of questions, opinions… and immense pressure. From sleep and feeding to milestones and mental health, how do you know what’s normal, and what’s right for your family?
In Baby Steps, trusted Health Visitor and Mental Health Nurse Ruth Watts offers a warm, evidence-based guide to navigating your baby’s first year without judgment or overwhelm. Structured week by week, this practical handbook helps parents understand what to expect at every stage, while encouraging them to trust their instincts and tune out unrealistic expectations.
Covering everything from newborn sleep and feeding to weaning, development, crying, anxiety, relationships and returning to work, Ruth combines professional expertise with the honesty of real-life parenting. Her reassuring approach acknowledges that babies don’t follow perfect schedules—and parents don’t need to be perfect either.
Written in the relatable voice that has attracted more than 300,000 followers online, Baby Steps delivers clear guidance, emotional reassurance and practical support for modern families.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or deep in the sleep-deprived trenches of early parenthood, this is the guide you’ll return to again and again.
