I am expecting and am half way through this book. It is very informative and definitely prepares me for what's coming. I figure that once the baby arrives, I won't be able to read it as carefully but then I will know exactly where in the book to look for the information I need. Highly recommend it!

P.S., this book intends to give you an idea what to expect (just like in "what to expect when you are expecting"), so don't assume your baby's development happens exactly as the book describe week by week. Every baby is different and this book provides a good guideline.

The 1 Star Reviews are Based on Inaccurate Information - Wonderful Book that I give to all my friends

As a registered nurse and first time mom, I found this book INCREDIBLY helpful. My sister in law from the UK sent it to me - I thought I knew everything and wouldn't need it! (I have watched children since I was 13). Nope, I relied on it. When you come home from the hospital - even with extensive knowledge of how to care for children - you can be overwhelmed! This book is literally a manual for how to care for a new baby: each week goes through how much they should be eating, pooing/weeing, sleeping and goes over their developmental milestones. Each week has tips like what temperature the baby's nursery should be at night, (I had no idea), or safety issues as the baby grows. It is written in clear, reassuring language - like a wise relative guiding you through each week as a new mom.

It is unfortunate that so many people have focused on one paragraph in the book regarding controlled crying. The controlled crying portion is brought up under week 23 - when the baby is almost 6 months old. The entire book up until this point reviews how to create sleep routines and help your baby to sleep through the night so that you don't have to do controlled crying. When you get to controlled crying they encourage the parent to make sure they are committed. Part of the commitment is that if the baby spits up, they should change the sheets and shush the baby only because to go back and forth (i.e. give up on the controlled crying and pick up the baby, then try controlled crying again the next night) is actually bewildering to the baby - and confuses them. This book is wonderful, written in a way that promotes loving care of the baby, and is only controversial in that they teach parents who are going to do controlled crying, how to do it properly. Again, it does not encourage controlled crying - only how to do it in the most efficient and QUICK way possible, so as not to prolong this really uncomfortable practice. I only go on about this because it is such a disservice to new moms to give this book one star - I had a ton of anxiety as a new mom and this book reassured me more than any other book out there.

I love this book. It is clear, concise and takes a reasonable approach to feeding and sleep devoid of all the extreme philosophies. Written in a week by week format it takes a few minutes to read and then you feel ready for that weeks challenges and joys. Highly rrcommend.
