 good if you're absolutely clueless July 17, 2007
because this book has pictures, you can see the "how-to"s of taking care of a baby, such as how to diaper, bathe, feed, nurse, change clothes, etc...
however, i was disappointed with the lack of updates. i got the book because i borrowed a friend who had an earlier addition, and you'd think that after 10+ years, the spelling mistakes would be corrected, and that makes me wonder how often the book is "updated."
 Great book, a must have for any new parents. June 16, 2007
We first checked this book out from our local library. We fell in love with it and just had to buy a copy for ourselves. It's a great book that contains a lot us useful real-life illustrations. We're first time parents and had so many questions about basic child-care. It helped answer some of the most simple questions to keep the baby clean, safe, and healthy. Now if only there was a manual on adulthood?!
Best Book for First Time Parents April 26, 2007
This book is wonderful, the pictures are great and it covers so many differnt topics. From diaper changing, burping, colic, to first aid for your baby (both newborn and older).
I would recommend it to any first time parents.
Must have book for first-time parents August 17, 2006
This is an indispensible book to me and my husband, giving guidance throughout pregnancy, to handling those first timid days at home, to caring for boo-boos of our energetic toddler. It covers a wide range of topics, with helpful pictures, and simple instructions. You MUST get your hands on this book if you are a first-time parent!
A Great Book for First-Time Parents April 5, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one of many pregnancy and baby books I have bought, and it's definitely one of my favorites. My husband and I are going to start trying to have a baby (our first) in about 5 months, so I'm reading all I possibly can right now. I've never been around infants, and I know absolutely nothing about how to take care of them. (I know- it's a scary thought me wanting to have one!!!) But this book has given me a lot of confidence, mainly because it's so detailed.
My favorite part of the book is the section on baby care- detailed steps of how to change a diaper, how to bathe the baby, how to dress the baby, etc. with very helpful (and beautiful) pictures. The section on pregnancy actually isn't very helpful- not very many details about the developing baby or changes in the mother; but it does give a basic overview and again, the pictures are beautiful. However, it does contain an excellent section on nutrition- spelling out (and showing) exactly what foods have what necessary nutrients for the pregnant woman, which I found very helpful. There's also a section on what to expect at each prenatal doctor's visit, which is very interesting.
All in all, this is a wonderful book with lots of good information and adorable pictures. If this isn't going to be your first baby, I don't think this book will be very helpful to you because you obviously know first-hand how to care for a baby already! However, it might be a good book for older siblings to look at (maybe age 10 and over)- so they can know what changes to expect and how they can help with the new baby. (There are pictures of the mother's naked body as it changes each month and of how to use a breast pump, so use discretion.) If you are expecting your first (or planning to be expecting soon, like me!!!) this book will be very helpful in teaching you the basics of caring for your baby.
P.S. My husband hasn't read any of my pregnancy/baby books, but he too liked the pictures in this one.
