23 Month Old Loves It

We just started to read this book (and a few others on this subject) and our 23 mth old loves it. She wants to read this one and a few other baby related books a few times each day. I like the nursing pictures.

My two-year-old LOVES this book!

My son loves to read this book again and again. My family has home births, so the book isn't very close to our own experiences, but the book works great as a starting point for further discussions. I like the fact that the book presents a realistic view of what it's like to have a baby in the house. I was four when my own sister was born, and I expected her to come home from the hospital and be ready to play games with me. If I'd had this book I'd have known better what to expect. In this book, when Mom and the new baby come home from the hospital, they are tired and need the help of the other family members.The book does a very good job of telling a child what to expect, in terms easy for a child to grasp, such as "Mom wakes up in the middle of the night. She feels the baby will be born soon."I very much like the fact that the book shows the baby breastfeeding.But the very best thing about this book is that my son loves it. He asks us to read it to him again and again.

Good for younger sibling's to be

I really like this book only a few comment's about it. I would have liked for mum and dad to have to ring grandad and grandma or the neighbours in the middle of the night when baby arrives as in most set ups where a new sibling is due to arrive there is not "in house" baby sitting service available, and this is a point that is very important to get across. The book is great it makes a lovely read and has some great drawings that you can spend a lot of time talking about and I loved the fact that mummy is breastfeeding baby rather than bottle feeding. I would reccommend it to anyone with a young toddler and expecting again..

Perfect for toddlers!

I purchased this book when I was expecting my second child and was very pleased with it. It shows a family preparing for a new baby, the arrival of the baby, as well as what takes place when there is a new baby in the house. This book gave my toddler a good idea of what to expect and gave me a jumping off point for discussing what would happen when I left for the hospital, when she would get to come see me & the baby, etc. I was also very glad to see a book that (tastefully) showed a mother nursing her newborn instead of giving it a bottle, as most "new baby" books do. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a young child and is expecting a baby.
