A Must Have for All New Moms

I am a first time mom, my husband and I were very nervous as we had never been around new born babies before and had no idea what we would need to buy, how to hold a baby ,what we needed to learn even!! This book is a complete book for all novices, it has many illustrious pictures and clear style of writing which is easy to understand. It covers more or else all topics personally I could think of. I have refered to it time and again all throughout my pregnancy and am sure it will be a great help once my baby is here.

Best book, bar none, for pregnancy and baby care.

This is the best book that I used as a resource when I was pregnant and for baby care. I never read the "What to expect ..." books. This book seemed to have the information I needed without going into too much detail. The pictures were fantastic. Most useful, though, is that it tells what symptoms mean "call the doctor". It also got us to get our kids to sleep through the night. Highly recommen!

If you are buying one book for pregnancy and child care...

this should be the one. It is a great book to follow through the stages of pregnancy and then into child care up to the toddler years. The pictures of the childhood rashes and sections indicating when to call the doctor are fabulous.

most informative book for new mothers & fathers

This is one book that I would strongly recommend (and do buy for all my friends). It has a picture of every childhood disease that you can imagine from diaper rash to chicken pox to the mumps. It's all in here and the book covers pregnancy to about age 5. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and when dealing with your own kids' sickness, this book is very helpful

excellent gift to first time parents-answers all questions

This book takes you from pregnancy thru the toddler years. From what to expect in and out of the hospital, to common sense items, like what you need the first day home. Also, plenty of infant and toddler medical, feeding, and caring for the child. We were especially impressed with the way the book had all the answers, even with some of our simplest questions. We have given it to 2 of our friends and are purchasing it again today for another new parent.
