Product Description

Product Description
First time parents are deluged with advice on how to look after their baby. Magazines, books, media, ante-natal classes, friends and family are full of what to do and what equipment to buy. Babies for Beginners is the antidote to all this. It's a pared down guide to the absolute essentials you need to know, along with what you can manage without. Its humour and honesty take the stress out of the responsibility of looking after a new baby, and the step-by-step guides make everything, from soothing the baby to changing its nappy, easy and straightforward. This book cuts away the crap - the unnecessary equipment, the overfussy advice - and gives you the absolute basics of babycare: keep the baby alive at all costs, and try to stop it getting too hungry. From bedtime to bathtime, mealtime to playtime, Babies for Beginners highlights the core objective of each exercise (such as get the baby bathed) and the key focus (don't drown it). By exploding the myths around each aspect of babycare, the book explains which bits of each exercise are really necessary, and which are luxuries; which pieces of equipment are essential, and which you can do without.

From the Publisher
Target market
Babies for beginners is aimed at every new parent who has never been quite sure what a cradle cap is and whether you need one. It is also intended for fathers who want an excuse to get out of ante-natal classes. Because of its humour, it will make an excellent gift book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Baby Book, 2 Mar 2004
Finally, a book that cuts through all the new mum crap out there - and tells you what you REALLY need to know.
I have a 6 month old daughter and this has been my best purchase since giving birth! I highly recommend this book for all new (and old) mums out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST READABLE TOP TIPS YOU'LL COME ACROSS, 16 April 2004
By A Customer
If I'd read this before having my two children I'm sure my wrinkle, grey hair and bags-under-the-eyes quota would have been significantly reduced - if only because it's such a witty read. I scanned it in one evening and have a waiting list for it among my friends. Its best selling point is its amusing, no nonsense, decide for yourself approach. Read this before any other "how to be a fab parent" guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't have done it without this book, 3 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This fabulous, fantastic baby book has just made such a difference to my life. It is clear and simple - even a new mother can understand it and our brains do turn to custard. It is funny - don't make me laugh with my stitches in.... It is practical and wonderfully helpful. This book has made such a difference to me. I was quite scared of being a mum for the first time and the other books were too technical, too full of jargon and i felt I was being patronised. This is written on a level that is just right - bet the author is a real mum who understands life from the other side and not just a writer with no real hands on experience.
Brilliant book. Brilliantly written . top marks for reassurance and simple practical help.
It should be given free to every new mum in every maternity ward in every hospital in the country. Why isn't it? Come on NHS - do something innovative......

5.0 out of 5 stars better than most

Not keen on this book at all. Fair enough, women shouldn't feel pressured into breastfeeding, but surely the sales of formula milk show that that's not the case? Read more
