From One Child to Two

Summary: Better than the Meg Zweiback book
Review: My first son will be 14 1/2 months old when his little brother is born and I can't seem to find much advice on how to prepare us all for this. I got a lot more out of this than the Meg Zweiback book though. If you are having a second baby when your first child is 3 or over you will get even more out of this book. However, this book is not only for how to prepare in advance for your growing family. It has a lot of usefull information in it which I'm betting I will come to rely on as the boys are growing up. It presents scenarios that are sure to come up as your children get older and gives advice on how to deal with them. All in all, a pretty good book for addressing concerns you may already have and preparing you for some you probably haven't thought of yet.

Summary: Leaves out important issue of first born Nursing Toddler
Review: We have a zealous nursing toddler and are having a terrible time weaning her. I am very concerned about jealousy over nursing! I was hoping to find information about how to approach weaning the first born and the best way to handle explaining that the baby nurses and the first born no longer does! This book assumes no nursing after year one -- certainly missing a major trend.
