Perfect baby shower gift!!!!!!

This book is amazing. I saw it featured on CBS Sunday Morning and realized that this book probably had the answers to questions that I didnt know where to look for..and lo and behold..It did! It forced me to take a look at issues I have been procastinating since becoming a parent 4 years ago. The book is VERY user friendly. It takes complex issues such as College saving, choosing guardians and summarily describes various options and scenarios that puts the legal mumbo jumbo into everyday "mommy brain" language. I think this book is pratical and a must have for the parent library.

should be a gift at every baby shower

This book gives sound, realistic advice to parents of young children who are trying to navigate life with a "new" family. Finances were hard before kids, but this book helps guide parents to the right choices after having kids. The chapter on the laws dealing with nursing in public and in the work environment is very important as more moms are choosing to nurse for longer periods of time. There are many baby books out there, but none that cover these real world issues with ease and authority.

Great parenting book

Parent Savvy has been an extremely helpful book for me as I am expecting my second child in just a few weeks. With minimal time on my hands these days I found the information in this book to be clear and concise...it was extremely easy to read and a great book to have on hand as a resource for questions that come up on a daily basis. The book was particularly helpful answering the financial questions that both my husband and I have regarding our childrens' future. I am happy to have found this parenting book to add to my collection I know that I will continue to use it as a reference in years to come.

The must-have sanity guide for new parents

This book answers all of the questions you were afraid to ask - or didn't know who to ask - with easy, practical advice. Just when I thought I couldn't read another book about spit-up, sleep deprivation, and the wonders of parenthood - this book came along with its sincerity, honesty, practicality - and what you REALLY need to know when you are expecting... even if it isn't your first baby!

A must read for new parents!!!

I found this book to be extremely helpful in answering questions every parent has when it comes to childcare and parenting. There is also excellent legal advice when it comes to children and saving for their future. I will definitely keep it on hand as I get ready to deliver my second baby. I thought it was up there with books like the "What to expect" series and really easy to navigate.
