What to Expect in the Second Year: 12 to 24 Months

A must-read and indispensable guide to keeping your child healthy and safe. Starting from your child's first birthday, What to Expect in the Second Year is the complete guide to the whys, whens, and hows of the "year of discovery"—twelve months filled with incredible milestones, rapid learning, and endless discoveries. This edition provides essential information about children aged 1 to 2—from feeding (tips for encouraging fussy children) to sleep (how to get more sleep), from speech (how to identify first words) to behavior (how to stop early morning tantrums). The book is intended for parents who want to learn more about the details that influence the day-to-day life of their child's second year.
