2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting..........until you have a baby., 14 Dec 2004
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Reference Guide to Parenting, 18 Nov 2003
This review is from: Complete Baby & Child Care (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guideline for first time, sleepless nite mothers, 22 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I bought the book for my Sister in law who had a beautiful baby boy :) The first couple of days were a nightmare until I came across this book. Its a fantastic book as it covers a range of topics from feeding to putting your baby to sleep and uses an illustartive guide on how to do things e.g wiping ur baby's botty and putting the nappy on :0) It also has a section for testing the physical and social development of your baby and thats cool, cause it covers different tests for boys and girls. Basically anyone who wants a breif all in one guide on raising their children from birth to 4 years, should go out there way to read this book!
