Essential First Year, The

Very good. I wish i had it in the beginning.

Good Book and Amazon delivered it in good condition

This was a present to a friend who just had her baby... and she swears by the book. She uses it like an encyclopedia for any answers she needs! Totally recommended.

not the same setup as "we are pregnant" not organized the same way at all - might be great for others

Great book from excellent author. Both a practical guide and important information on how to understand your baby and what is important for them (and you) emotionally. Very nice all-rounder

Lot of good Information and tips

I had the larger volume of birth to age five, but I found this to be a big help to new parents.It provides much information without it being an encyclopedia .

I bought this book for my daughter when her baby was about four months old. It was only just published. I brought her up 30 years ago on Penelope Leach and hoped my grandson would benefit from Penelope's sensible and British approach. My daughter has found it very helpful and says it's one of her best baby books now.One minor point - both my daughter and her husband agree with me that the cover is rather unattractive. Don't let it put you off!Good luck with the babies in your life!
