Book Reviews of Parenting Guide to Your Baby's First Year
Book Review: Top notch baby book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read plenty of baby books, including Dr. Sears and other experts, but I find this one to be the best there is on the subject. I really liked the author's style and format. It is divided into 3 month sections: Month 0 -3, 4 - 6, 7 - 9, 10 -12. Each section talks about all the important developmental stages of each month, plus what to expect in terms of growth, learning, etc. In addition to all the basic developmental facts, there is plenty of first hand experience stories on a variety of topics, plus a lot of psychology in terms of what to expect you will be going through emotionally and physically in each of the 12 months. They even include very well done Yoga exercises to relax and stretch out those overworked muscles! I found it to be a wonderful book and the best-organized and comprehensive one on the market. I got rid of all my other baby books since this one covers it all. It even goes into details about ear infections and common baby hazards and illnesses. It also reads very smoothly. A real page-turner and a tearjerker at times, especially the first birthday stuff. I barely got through that chapter! I highly recommend this book.

From the editors of Parenting Magazine comes Parenting Guide to Your Baby's First Year, a comprehensive guide packed with helpful facts from the experts, as well as tips and true stories from parents. Organized into four sections, each covering a three-month period (plus a chapter on the first few days with baby), this guide advises new parents on everything from caring for baby to adjusting to parenthood. Author Ann Krueger, former editor-in-chief of Parenting Magazine and the mother of two, writes with candor and style. "In an instant," she says, "my world had both grown to make room for this precious new life and shrunk to focus only on her--a state of maternal insanity experienced by many new moms." Krueger offers straightforward explanations and earnest answers to the questions new parents ask: Why does my baby cry so much? When should I call the doctor if I suspect something is wrong? How can I encourage my baby to sleep through the night? How do I trim my baby's nails? What should I do to help ease my child's separation anxiety? Even, what's happened to my relationship? With all the essential information new parents need to survive (and enjoy!) their baby's first year, this guide will give you the resources you need to know that you're not alone in this great endeavor. --Kelley Smith
