"The best baby book you could purchase"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was recommended by a friend to buy this book when my son was born. It is one of the best books I have ever read. It is an awesome reference and has some really fantastic tips and insight into your baby's first year. You will not be disappointed.

"Good, comprehensive and balanced information"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a really good book, especially for first time mums – covers a huge range of topics and has up to date, comprehensive answers. It comes from a parents point of view and encourages parents to do what feels right for them – but provides information on different approaches and view points so parents can make an informed choice. Very helpful to look up when you're a bit stuck and don't know quite what to do, as well as an interesting read to find out what your baby will be doing month by month.

"Great as a reference guide :)"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This book has come in really handy to look up common questions however dont use it is a baby manual. Every baby is different. This book has been extremely helpful as we have a new born and we weren't sure about a few things and now have the answers.

Description

Completely revised and updated Australian & New Zealand edition.

Everything new parents need to know about the care (and feeding) of an infant, from the authors of What to Expect When You're Expecting. The book covers monthly growth and development, feeding for every age and stage, and sleep strategies that really work. Murkoff and Hathaway have rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including new by-demand material.

Filled with the most practical tips: how to give a bath, decode your baby's crying, what to buy for baby, 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:

· What's the best kind of car seat for my newborn?
· How do I know if my baby's getting enough to eat?
· 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?
