About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents Hiccups by Diane Arnaout, read by WIllow Nash.
The quintessential guide for new parents while they navigate the joys and challenges of their baby’s first year.
Parenting these days is harder than ever, and having a new baby in the age of social media is both a blessing and a curse. It can be hard to know what information out there is sound and trustworthy.
In Hiccups: A Pediatrician Mom’s Guide to Surviving Your First Year of Parenthood, Dr. Diane Arnaout provides a down-to-earth and (very, very) honest guide for the first year of your baby’s life. She covers the most common questions she gets daily in her office and on social media—she’s seen and heard it all—and breaks down the science of babies in an easy way for any parent looking to be led by evidence, not influencers. From reflux to snot, food allergies to vaccines, sleep regressions to illnesses, Dr. Diane leaves no stone unturned. And every topic discussed feels like a conversation with a good friend—who also happens to be a pediatrician.
Hiccups provides new parents with encouragement and reassurance from a pediatrician mom who’s been there, with a dose of humor and personal anecdotes alongside evidence and science. Featuring easy-to-read recommendations for at-home care and guidance for when to call the doctor, Hiccups lets parents know the weird “normals” of babies, understand the science behind the way they are, and experience the joy of every milestone reached.
