Very educational book for first time parents. It helps to have a guide as to what is coming ahead. It seems people around tend to make everything sound more stressful than it is Jul 08, 2021

Cold Spring Harbor, New York
Great book. Filled with helpful and up to date information. Jun 06, 2019
- Rebecca H.
Sioux Falls , South Dakota
But this book before baby arrives. About the first half of the book should be read before Baby, because it isn’t super useful after. Other than that, it is also a good resource to have. May 29, 2019

I appreciate the insights that this book provides as my son grows. Oct 31, 2017

I love using this book as a guide through each month since I'm a brand new mom. It thoroughly explains breastfeeding, important milestones, what to expect, when to call the doctor, etc. A must have! Sep 12, 2017

I still refer to this book, especially concerning behavior and illness Oct 27, 2016
- Christa T.

This book was very much a disappointment. While some factual information is within, searching for anything is a nightmare, and forget about a "specific" issue you may have. Oct 05, 2016

Great to have in your arsenal as a first time mom. I referenced this a lot with my first, not so much with my second. Aug 16, 2016
