Format:Hardcover
Prior to the birth of my first baby I bought and read this book, thinking it may assist in me looking after my first newborn. Yes there are some points which are useful, such as how to make up bottles (if you didn't know at all), but the advice appears to be based on the perfect baby. A lot of the advice made me paranoid I wasn't doing things properly. I found I got on a lot better (and was happier) the day I put the book under the sofa - and there it has stayed.

Format:Paperback
This was the first baby book I bought after the birth as I had found the pregnancy version fantastic. This is a handy book to have for quick reference for various problems particularly on the health issues.
However there is not enough information on newborn babies and how to cope and make things easier. So I found Tracy Hoggs Baby Whisperer & Gina Fords Contented Baby essential accompaniements.
The Development secion is also very helpful.
This is by no means a how to book so if you want advise on routine and sleeping through the night do not buy this book but if you want an encyclapedia style reference book this is ideal.

Format:Hardcover
I'm afraid this book is years behind, particularly the childcare sections. Childminders are unqualified? They've been required to undertake training and qualifications for years now. It makes you wonder just how up to date the rest of the book is.
Try Penelope Leach instead.

opinionated and unhelpful
This book follows a tradition in our society to assume that babies are born blank slates, and that we as parents shape and mould their personalities likes blocks of clay. Read more
