Blythe's Book

I happened upon Blythe Lipman's "Help! My Baby Came Without Instructions!" while shopping for my niece, a first-time mom. It seemed the perfect gift. For safety's sake, I asked a couple of my pediatrician pals to peruse the book. They gave it "two thumbs up." "Blythe's advice is right on target," one of the physicians said. "These are the same things I say to my new mothers," the other reported. Not only was my niece pleased with her present, she is constantly telling me how helpful it is. Now I know exactly what to do when a similar occasion arises: Buy Blythe's book.

A life-saver!

This book is a must-read for all new parents (and those contemplating new parenthood). It makes a great baby shower gift and is oh so practical! Now, if only Ms. Lipman would write the sequel, "Help, My Baby Parrot Came Without Instructions"!

Like an Emergency Baby Book

I haven't found any other book like this for new parents. When our baby is crying or won't sleep or won't eat, all we want to do is get that problem solved. We don't have time to read a chapter, we just want someone to tell us what we should do right now! That's the beauty of this book for us -- we've got over 30 things to try that will stop Lucy from crying. Same with eating or sleeping, the Big 3 for us. This book has saved us so much frustration! And we get more sleep, too. Great book. I just hope there's another one by the time Lucy gets to be a toddler. Dr. Gary Witt

Here Are Your Instructions!

Wow! What a great book! I wish I had this for when my kids were growing up! It's a great collection of great ideas that you never think of that makes the first year of raising a new baby bearable. I've given a bunch of these away to friends and coworkers as baby shower gifts and baby's first birthday. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is have a baby, thinking about having a baby, knows anyone who's having a baby, or ever has to care for a baby. It sure makes life easier for you and the baby! Thanks for the instructions!
