Filled with the most practical tips (how to give a bath, decode your baby's crying, what to buy for baby, and when to return to work) and the most up-to-date medical advice (the latest on vaccines, vitamins, illnesses, SIDS, safety, and more).

Reassuring Answers to Hundreds of Questions:

  • How can I tell if my baby is really sick? When should I call the doctor?
  • Should I sign my baby up for classes?
  • Should I be worried that my baby isn't crawling yet?
  • How do I cope with my colicky baby?

Highly informative resource book for new parents. I appreciated the detail provided by the authors regarding how the intiate feeding baby foods to your infant and which food items are the safest to begin. I intend to keep this book as a resource in my home and would quickly purchase another parenting book written by these authors that discuss toddler and issues of school-aged children. Overall, I recommend this book for new parents.

What to Expect the First Year

Created: 19/02/09
Very good tool for first time moms!!! Has a month-by month detailed description of everything to expect, and how the baby should be developing. Also has common ailments that you might come across and how to deal with them. The What to Expect series are great. I read the pregnancy one, and also plan to purchase the toddler years one.
