Welcome to the journey.
I'm Kamile, mom to a lively two-year-old boy and the main author behind Bringing Baby Home. Like many new parents, I faced the overwhelming first year with countless questions and no single guide to turn to. Along with the team at How To Parent — many of whom are parents themselves — we created this book to fill that gap. We've been there. Now we're here to share what we wish we had.
