Modern Girls Guide to Motherhood

After reading through numerous mother to be books, I found that that this one gave the best, most simple advice on almost everything that you need to make you feel comfortable with your first baby. I would definately recommend this book! I also have given it to several friends as gifts.

Funny, practical and an EASY informative read!

As a mom to be I have bought WAY too many pregnancy/ motherhood books. This one BY FAR is the best read. Jane Buckingham gets right to the point without all of the filler. She comes across as a mom you have met at work, church or the PTA. She gives real world advice that is quite helpful. I got this book last week and I am half way through it. This is a GREAT gift for an expectant mom!!

Unjust reviews for this book...

...so, some of the breast feeding Nazis have gotten a hold of this book and the one page or so it gives you the pros of formula feeding, which I wanted to know, has clearly, terribly, upset some of the DIE HARD breast feeders. This is a very informative AND modern book for today's younger generation and it is also a very interesting read. Most other books will have me falling asleep in minutes but she gives very practical advice AND opinions on ALL the topics you want to know yet she doesn't go over board and spend a whole chapter on one subject hammering in the same point over and over like a lot of baby books tend to do. I would recommend that you ignore majority of the reviews on here, especially the ones where the reviewers immediately jump into the breast feeding issues which is FAR from a main topic in this book (only a small section).. it is very misleading and I am glad I borrowed this book from a friend and began reading it before reading some of these insane, over the top, reviews that have NOTHING to do with the book in its entirety!

GREAT BOOK!

I thought this was a good, fun book with a lot of good advise and tips. For those of you hating on the book, the book is one person's opinions and tips. you aren't supposed to agree with everything and it is not meant to be a "serious" book. I highly recommend this to all mothers to be and new moms.
