As a first time parent, I ordered this book from Amazon two days after i`d given birth to my daughter !! Nobody quite prepares you for what your about to embark on - parenthood, but Miriam Stoppard has done a pretty good job in this book.
My daughters first few months were hard going, she had terrible colic and excema, and thanks to this book, I picked up some great tips on how to releave the symptoms.
We are now 9 months in and this book has become my parenthood bible !! It`s best to get this book just before your expecting, as it covers everything you need to know from the time your baby is born. I wouldnt recommend buying it for an older baby, as the majority of it covers `new baby` things like nappy changing, health worries, feeding etc. and as your baby gets older there are only a couple of pages for each month.
There is also a full development guide for each month up to 12 months. Saying what your baby should be doing and how to encourage them.. you cannot always follow it to the point though as babies develop at different speeds.
It also covers, relationships with your partner, relationships with your baby, childcare, working parents. immunisations, breast and bottle feeding advice and theres even a section on how to deal with interfeering in-laws !!
There is a similar book available to which i purchased called `your new baby` by Miriam Stoppard`. It is basically the same as `First Time parents` but doesn`t have the development bit in it, so If your choosing between the two, just go for the First time parents one.
All in all, this book is a must for first time parents !!

We have been recently blessed with a daughter, and this book was a total godsend (from a fathers viewpoint!) I found the information very well laid out, and just the right level of detail I need.
I want a book that gives me the facts which I can then use to make an informed decision, rather than a "heres how you do it" - as I have quickly found that everyone has a different opinion! This book did it for me.
Finally, within each section, there is an area for 'Mothers' and 'Fathers'- I also found this extremely useful.
And if you are reading this waiting for Junior to come along, good luck!

This is trully a must have for first time parents (although thats not to say that any worried parents/parents-to-be wouldn't find it a worthwhile read and book to keep going back to). I've read lots of baby and pregnancy books, but most left me wanting to know more, so many unanswered questions. But in this book there are great bits of information directed at dad's, reassuarances for them and how to understand what their partner is going through and feeling, without the information being patronising.
I would highly reccommend this book to anyone!

First Time Parents by Miriam Stoppard
My daughter found that this book offered useful and practical advice. I have since bought it for other "expectant" parents who have been equally delighted.

Really good illustrations and sensible advice
I got this book when I was pregnant as I had no experience at all of looking after babies. It is really good for covering the basics of childcare in a non-prescriptive way. Read more
