Product Description
This comprehensive guide for new parents finding themselves overwhelmed dealing with the reality of parenting provides “parent-tested, pediatrician-approved” advice to allay their fears. Written in a compassionate yet authoritative tone by two moms who are also pediatricians, this guide covers a wealth of topics that often prove daunting in the first eight weeks of a child’s life. Starting with “Into the Mouths of Babes” (the trials of breastfeeding) and “What Comes in Must Come Out” (a discussion of “pee and poop”) and moving on through “Fever: Trial by Fire” and “Seeing Yellow: Jaundice,” this guide offers sound advice that will enable parents to feel confident about their parenting skills. Hints on daily living, sleep patterns, crying, the art and science of diapering, and traveling with a newborn are also provided.

For the price and quality, it is good for new moms or anyone feeding their baby. The only thing I would change is to have more cushion on the seat.

First, I’ve only read 2 or 3 chapters so far. It starts off with breastfeeding. Aside from its length the first chapter was a put off for me because the author seems biased about breastfeeding and a couple of other points. If a women weren’t intending to or for some reason couldn’t breastfeed, this chapter and this author may make her feel guilty which is unfortunate and certainly not what a mom with a newborn needs. I am pregnant now and plan to breastfeed because I agree with the benefits, but women during this time should receive support with whatever they choose (bottle or breast). Encouragement to breastfeed is probaly a good thing, but I just didn’t like the vibe from this book…at least so far. Maybe I haven’t read more yet because of the initial turn off. I rate it with 3 stars because I like a lot of details and this book appears to be fairly clear and practical for the new mom. Overall, you probably wouldn’t regret buying the book, but as with me, you may want plan to buy others on newborns for various opinions so you may reach your own conclusions on how to mother your child.

The book has a lot of good information, but it is very generic. I was hoping for more of a reference manual and this was definitely not that kind of book. Most of the information I knew already either through classes or common sense.

This book is a must for any new parents. The information is a life safer for your kids. This book is extremely informative, yet written in a way that can be easily understood. Please read this book.
