This little volume has been in the making for thirteen years. That was when the author first observed her sister caring for a new baby. She was amazed at all the wonderful tricks this new Mom used to soothe, comfort, and amuse her newborn while still attending to her husband and regular household duties. She joked at the time with her sister about writing down all the great tips for "future reference." And so the creation of Crib Sheets became a reality when, thirteen years later the author herself became a new Mom. Monique Westbay has gathered the advice, suggestions, tips, ideas and helpful hints from everyone and anyone to make an essential guide to help new (and old) parents and care givers.
