The Baby Show, Ottawa


Ann will be speaking at The Baby Show, Ottawa. Her topic? The Truth About Parenthood: What Every Parent and Parent-to-be Needs to Know About the Exciting (and Exhausting) Early Weeks with Baby. "We’ve got the new baby instruction manual that Mother Nature forgot to provide. Join bestselling parenting author Ann Douglas (author of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books, The Mother of All Baby Books, and numerous other books about pregnancy and parenting) for a sneak peek at life after baby. You’ll learn why babies cry and what you can do to help; when babies start sleeping through the night and what you can do in the meantime; and how to tap into the support you need to thrive as a new parent. Expect a compelling mix of practical advice and lively anecdotes from this popular and engaging speaker."
