Product Description

Product Description
Having a baby opens up a whole new and exciting world - but it can seem a dauntingly unfamiliar world too. Most of us know very little about pregnancy and babycare at first, and we quickly find that there is seldom a "right" or a "wrong" way of doing things. But there's often an easy way. This book aims to show what parents have found worked best and what makes life easiest. Organised in three sections, it offers a guide through pregnancy stage by stage, showing how to make it a happy, healthy time for the mother, giving her baby the best possible start to life. In over 800 colour photographs it shows the basics of babycare, offering practical solutions to common problems with reassuring advice. The book contains a photographic diary of one woman's pregnancy and an illustrated account of the first six weeks of one baby's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't have coped without this book!, 7 Mar 2000
By A Customer
The reassurance that this book gave me, particularly during my first pregnancy, made it invaluable. Even during the early stages of labour I sat reading it just to make sure this was the real thing before rushing off to hospital. My husband couldn't believe I could sit reading calmly while he was in a panic. As soon as you become pregnant there are so many people giving advice on all aspects of childcare and parenting, it can be quite baffling. One of my friends gave me a simple piece of advice - buy a copy of The Complete Book of Mother and Babycare and don't listen to anyone. I have accessed the amazon website to but a copy for my sister, who has just found out she is pregnant. My copy is currently on loan to a friend who lives in Austria. If you are having your first child I couldn't recommend this book strongly enough. It's quite useful for subsequent offspring as well!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mother & Baby Care, 15 Jun 2009
By Elsie (England) - See all my reviews
I am 20 weeks pregnant, and so far have found other pregnancy books more useful. However, a large proportion of this book is, as the name suggests, about mother and baby after the birth. This section of the book seems very thorough, with lots of photographs demonstrating what is being explained. I am sure that, after my baby is born, I may find this book as invaluable as other reviewers have. My only other critism would be that the book seems very dated, sorry to the model mother, but her hairstyle is very 80s!! Although in some ways this helps to lighten the otherwise serious nature of the book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars good practical advice, 27 Oct 2008
By Rebecca Atkinson (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had my son while living abroad far from my family, and this book simply kept me sane as I tried to understand what was supposed to be happening in this scary journey towards motherhood. I really like the fact that mothering is presented here as a very imprecise art. Altogether, very reassuring, especially at "wobbly" moments.
