City Baby Dc : The Ultimate Guide for Dc Metro Parents from Pregnancy Through Preschool

Parenting is all the rage these days. But while it’s great that you can now find out what kind of baby sling the stars use by looking at the tabloids, what new moms really want to know is how to raise a kid in their own town. This is particularly true in a city like D.C., which has a high percentage of transplants, and an established (not to mention polarized!) social system. Until now, these moms had no resource that answered their questions about doctors, prenatal yoga, where to get their maternity and baby gear, and how to get a stroller on the Metro. City Baby D.C. picks up right where the pregnancy test left off! City Baby D.C. includes all the valuable mom-tested info of the original City Baby: obstetric care and childbirth; adjusting to new motherhood; activities, classes, restaurants, and family outings; and what you really need for toys, clothes, furniture, music, and baby supplies. It also covers topics that are particular to the area, including tips on navigating D.C.’s playgroup scene and the best free local attractions.

A treasury of parenting resources for Washington, D.C., residents provides a wide range of listings, from health-care providers and family-friendly restaurants to cultural centers and educational classes.
