Authors Patricia Porrey and Pamela Jones Give Back to the Community by Offering a Free Copy of Raising Confident Parents to Their Website Visitors
Patricia Porrey, CPD, and Pamela Jones, RN, are generously offering a free copy of their new book, Raising Confident Parents, through their website for a limited time.
Patricia Porrey, CPD, and Pamela Jones, RN, focus their expertise on helping new parents with overnight infant care and fostering healthy sleep habits in newborns. Now, these women have condensed their helpful advice in a new book, Raising Confident Parents: Secrets from Baby Nurses and Parents about Pregnancy, Infant Care, and Achieving Sweet Dreams.
The authors point out that many parents did not have family support in the past because of relocation for work and other reasons. Still, many new parents these days are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles from those who could provide support for them and their newborn, and as a result, they feel isolated and alone when approaching the daunting task of raising a child. Raising Confident Parents covers a wide variety of topics of interest to new parents. The authors discuss the stress of receiving conflicting information on the best way to care for a newborn as well as postpartum recovery, must-have and necessary items for babies, setting up an infant for successful sleep, building confidence in parents, and even bonding between pets and new children.
According to the authors, “Expecting and caring for your newborn should be one of the happiest times of your life, but it can also be the most stressful. Let us help you unravel the mysteries and answer the questions you may not even know to ask. Parenthood can seem scary, but with Raising Confident Parents, you can build your confidence and learn to enjoy this amazing time in your life. Let’s face it, new parents do not have the time to read a 300-page book to find advice on what to do with sore boobs, how to treat hemorrhoids, and how to help your baby sleep through the night. We will give you proven parenting tips in short, easy-to-read pages and in a language you can understand.”
Proceeds from Raising Confident Parents will be donated to Friends of Conor, a non-profit foundation for children’s cancer research.

LEARN HOW…
We keep hearing about how it takes a village to raise a child. Well, where is yours? Many of us have moved away from our tribe and no longer have our “village” to turn to, who can offer us sage advice, education, and support we need.
Family and friends tend to tell us tall tales about pregnancy and how easy it is to care for a new baby. They don’t want to scare you, but if they actually told you the truth, most would probably never procreate.
Parenthood can seem scary, but with Raising Confident Parents: Secrets from Baby Nurses and Parents about Pregnancy, Infant Care, and Achieving Sweet Dreams, you can build your confidence and learn to enjoy this amazing time in your life.
What we know for sure are as follows:
• Expecting and caring for your newborn should be one of the happiest times of your life, but it can also be the most stressful. There is so much conflicting information out there about what you are expected to know and do as a new parent. Let us help you unravel the mysteries and answer the questions you may not even know to ask.
• Hospital stays are no weekend at the Ritz, but with our labor and delivery nurse tips, you can make it as comfortable as possible
• Know the baby must-haves that are put together by our team of baby nurses and seasoned moms. It is a list of what you will really need when you bring your baby home, not a list created by a department store.
• So, you think you are tired now? Set your baby up for success with healthy sleep habits. These are tried and tested sleep strategies from our Dream Team to get the whole family sleeping soundly.
THE BOOK
• What about mommy shaming? Motherhood is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. So why do so many moms feel bad?
• Your pet was probably considered your first baby. We can help parents introduce their newborn to their dog. Dogs can often exhibit signs of jealousy when all the attention is suddenly turned toward the new addition, so we offer some step-by-step tips to help create a bond between man’s best friend and your baby.
