Customer Reviews

A must have book, especially for 1st time Mom's.

I love this book. I have checked several others and I didn't buy this till after my baby was born. I wish I would have just bought this one first. It gives you a lot of information that comes in very handy, even something as not allowing your baby to cry it out because research shows that it harms the baby more than it does any good. I have had several people tell me to do things this way and that, but this book really gives you your own insight as well because babies deserve the best and only good things out there. This book revolves around that idea and I really like that because I treasure my son.

Great comprehensive read for first time parents

There are tons of books for first time parent's however this one really covered everything in a thorough neutral way. It was nice to see a chart telling when you should buy baby stuff (i.e., bouncer, high chair, stroller). As with all baby books, the information is just a suggestion and not the gospel, but I really enjoyed this, more so than the "Everything Series" book.

Great Resource

Marcie Jones has done it again, with a well-written and easy-to-read book that helps parents navigate the maze of their baby's early life. A great resource.

Great book for first time parents!!

I read the first book while pregnant and really liked it. It's real info without making you paranoid like the What To Expect books. This book gives great info for every step of the first year. Great book...can't recommend it enough! I want to get it for my friend's who are expecting.
