For first time mommies, taking care of their newborn child is a mixture of happiness and frustration. Now the frustration part can be eradicated with the launch of a new DVD created by pediatricians with over 50 years of combined experience for mothers as a guide for mothers on how to take care of their new born child. Newborn Care 101, LLC, www.newborncare101.com, announces the release of the company’s first DVD and guide, Newborn Care 101 – What Parents Need to Know. This DVD covers the most frequently asked questions by new parents to a pediatrician, from the end of pregnancy through the newborn period.

The DVD includes how to choose the right hospital and pediatrician, a newborn care class with a live audience, a baby’s first examination and all the common symptoms a newborn may have from head to toe. “This DVD covers a pediatrician’s view of what is important for expectant and new parents,” says Dr. Michael Schoenwetter, a pediatrician with over 15 years experience and the creator of Newborn Care 101, LLC. He is a board certified pediatrician practicing in the Los Angeles area and a father of two young children. He is the resident pediatrician for Brooke Burke’s website, www.ModernMom.com, and is featured in the Newborn Care 101 DVD. Dr. Mike states, “These are the questions new parents ask me every day in the office and in the hospital. By answering their most frequently asked questions, parents will be able to relax and actually enjoy the wonderful experience of having a newborn.”
The accompanying newborn care guide, written by author and pediatrician, Dr. Loraine Stern, highlights normal newborn characteristics and explains when to call a pediatrician.

Dr. Loraine Stern is a board certified pediatrician who has authored and edited several books. She has been writing for Pampers and Proctor and Gamble’s Website for the last 15 years, and she wrote for Women’s Day Magazine for over 20 years. She is the author of the newborn care reference guide that accompanies the Newborn Care 101 DVD.

Expectant mothers are likely to be thrilled with the idea of having the information they need in one DVD and getting to watch this DVD with their husbands. According to them watching this DVD is like getting advice from their own pediatrician. Dr. Schoenwetter is very knowledgeable and he speaks in terms that are easy to understand. Mothers are left with a feeling of confidence in their ability to care for their baby after watching this DVD.

A portion of the proceeds from the DVD sales are donated to the American Academy of Pediatrics – Friends of Children Fund.
