Summary: This book is a life saver for any new parent!
Review: I loved this book! It gave me practical advice and a lot more confidence that I could take care of my baby (something every new mother needs). I thought the section on "baby wearing" was really informative and I went out and bought a Snuggli so I can wear my baby no matter what I'm doing!

Summary: A must read for any new parent!
Review: I read a lot of books before my son was born, and I thought this was one of the best! It was one of the only books which talked about how my newborn was experiencing his new world, and helped me prepare to meet his emotional, as well as physical, needs. I give this book to every new mom I know!

Summary: Great reference for any mother
Review: This is probably my favorite baby care book. Because of its short, concise chapters it is good for people who don't have hours on end to read. The format also makes it easy to look up specific topics. And since it was written by a mother, the book has a more personal feel to it than many child care books. Information presented comes across as good advice rather than a how-to book. I can testify from personal experience that the ideas really work and help make a more confident mother and happy baby.
