Summary: My "Baby and Childcare Bible"
Review: A WONDERFUL book. I was first exposed to this book back in South Africa in 1990 when my son was born 2 months prematurely. Not having had children before and with my mother living many hundreds of kilometres away, I needed some guidance and something that I could rely on every day. This book had the answers to everything. Easy to read, easy to find things and most importantly, the advice given in the book was perfect every time. There are no photographs which I find unnecessary and detracting at times, but words of wisdom. The contents pages and index are very useful and one can find anything easily. The book is also written in plain English, no unnecessary medical jargon which one would need a medical dictionary to understand most books of this kind!!!! I have now had my second child, a daughter also born 2 months prematurely, some ten years later, my mother now thousands of kilometres away, and Marina has been there again to help me through the good and bad times of being a new mother. I have just received my Millennium Edition direct from Marina in South Africa and have read it through from cover to cover. It has taught me all the things that one forgets after ten years!!!! I would recommend this book to every expectant mother, new parent and longstanding parents, it will give you the sound advice that nobody else can give you. I also wish to take this opportunity of thanking Marina for such a wonderful book - keep up the good work. I also wish to congratulate her daughter, Chryssa, on the wonderful line drawings they are a pleasure to see when paging through the book.
