Books : What to Expect the First Year .
Rating: 
- BUY BUY BUY
This book is a must for all parents. It has so much information packed into it. It has answered nearly every question I've had on bringing up my child so far! Its very easy to dip in and out of, and you can see easily what to expect in future months!
Rating: - V helpful for first time mums
This is a complete godsend when you have conflicting advice from all those around you. You can either read it on a month by month basis or use the index at the back. I cannot recommend it enough and it has put both mine and my husband's mind at ease when we're confused.
Rating: - BUY IT, I cannot recommend it enough!
The title says it all, this book is GREAT. Whether you are a first time mum wanting a bible or are looking for the ideal present for a mother to be, this has got to be it. I have not yet found another book that is so thorough, reassuring, practical, unbiased or (believe it or not) entertaining as this one. It will save you trips to the pediatrician, reassure and help you with practical problems, give guidance on baby's development, in short, there is not an area or issue, however obscure, that hasn't been covered.
If there is any criticism at all, as mentioned by a previous review, is the way the book is organised into months, although it is hard to see with the volume of information it contains how it would best be done. I would agree with previous readers to read a couple of months ahead each time as sometimes issues arise ahead of schedule, so to speak!

- Fantastic reference book - often needed for those panic moments!
My friend lent me this book just after I had given birth to my baby daughter and I thought to myself 'nice of her to lend it to me but I'll probably never read it and will just get by with the internet as and when I need to' - but it has often been, I wouldn't say a 'god send', but a great book to refer to at those times when baby is causing concern, or you need some reassurance or if in need of a medical opinion. More often than not you just need to know that something is quite 'normal' or not never been heard of in the world of babies!
This book has come out many a time in the last 10 weeks when my little one is having a few problems (though nothing worrying enough for me to contact a doctor) or when we are just simply curious about something or need something confirming.
Generally it always delivers the answers, which are unbiased and to the point.
I would call this an overall fantastic 'baby bible' for any first time mummies and obviously worth keeping as a manual for the next baby should you be planning on doing it all again?!
Rating: - So Glad I Bought It
I only bought one book after having my little boy a year ago and am I glad it was this one. It has covered every aspect for the first year, which you would expect, but it was not one of those books which tells you which way is best. What I mean is, I am still breastfeeding my son at just over one year old and I never felt it pushed the bottle on me or breastfeeding, just gives advice on whatever you feel is best. And lets be honest, we all know what feels right for each of us, we just need a little bit of advice.
My sister has just had her first baby and I have bought the book for her. We have different ideas on things, but we have both felt a great deal of reassurance from this book.
