This was so helpful with my first. It’s a great guide for what you should focus on and when. It also provides a lot of reassurance. I will break this back out for my second baby. Sep 01, 2019

It's okay, but very long and I didn't agree with all of the advice. Not to mention you can find all the information on their website. Aug 31, 2018

I’m on my third version of this must-have guide! Even though I’m on my third child, it is still helpful to go back and make sure something is “normal”. Aug 17, 2018

Great book. Filled with helpful and up to date information. Jun 06, 2019

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

This is a great book to read as your child is going through all these new milestones. It has helped me understand what to do when, and where my child is in his development.First time parents must have Jul 31, 2017

This book was helpful. As a first-time mom, I had many concerns about when to take my girl to the doctor for the first few times she got sick, etc. This book was helpful in deciding that. Jun 05, 2017

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