A real handy book to have for first time parents. As most baby care books are wordy, this book cuts short everything and goes straight to the point - right from changing nappies to out and about with baby. Buy it - you'll be surprised at how often you'll refer to this pocket guide! Great as a gift for first time parents. Buy now!

This is as you would say, knowledge in a nutshell. This is a part of a wonderful tiny book, step-by-step series which breaks down the key information on baby care into 101 easy-to-grasp tips. The handy index also will be useful for the busy mom.

The topics range from "how to pick up a newborn," to "safety at home." The joys of baby care are described in detail. Have dad read the diaper changing chapter, just kidding. Then read about bathing your baby and various safety issues.

Breast-Feeding is explained in great detail as is Bottle-Feeding. First Mealtimes are given an entire chapter. The "Out and About with Your Baby" chapter is a fun look at backpacking, cycling and choosing outdoor clothing.

Babies sleep a lot, so why not make them as comfortable as possible. There are important discussions about how much your baby will sleep and how to establish a bedtime routine. Do you know why your baby is crying? This book will explain why they cry and give solutions for soothing their fears. Finally, "Baby Health & Safety" ensure your baby stays healthy mentally and physically.

A book for the new mom, before she is heading for the hospital. Perhaps a cute gift to give at a baby shower. This is a good overview for the new mom or dad. For more detailed reading, look for Dr. Miriam Stoppard's Complete Baby & Child Care.

~The Rebecca Review

An invaluable guide for new parents though I wish the tip "Do not leave your baby on a bus" had not been left until near the end of the book. Still, all's well that ends well.

I think this is a great book for a first time parent especially for those wives who want to show their husbands what lies ahead for them when the baby arrives. It's great that it has pictures and it gives you an idea of what to expect.

My husband really enjoyed it!

The pictures are great and the ideas are helpful - but use your own good sense first. I'm a first time mom and used it as a reference the first time I gave my baby a bath. It recommends the water be 85 degrees... Umm... NO!!! As my baby very vocally told me. (That's colder than body temperature for crying out loud!) The second bath I just did what I felt was right and my li'l guy was *so* much happier.

This book provides the minimum amount of information needed, but it is very useful for those topics that are covered, such as changing, cleaning, etc. your baby.
Lots of topics are missing that could have been included, but all in all this was a good buy.
Get it used if you can.

I bought this book because I wanted a quick reference book on how to do certain things with the baby. Like when to start feeding the baby solid foods. Although I already have one other child, it had been 6 years, so I needed something to refer back to in case I forgot certain things. It is a great book for the first time Mom or for any Mom that just needs a quick refresher course. The only thing I didn't expect was that it was so small. But truthfully I am really not that disapointed because it fits well in a diaper bag.

i really recommend this pocket guide for new parents. this book contains information that are easy to read and understand.it features a lot of images as illustrations too.
