5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Resource, September 27, 2008

This review is from: Baby Lists: What to Do and What to Get to Prepare for Baby (Paperback)

I learned about this book from my prenatal class. As a first time mom with no clue I found this book to be indispensable in helping me figure out what I needed to do to get ready for my baby. I hadn't even thought about interviewing a pediatrician or creating a birth plan. The first section of this book lists all the things you need to do as expectant parents before the baby arrives. The second section in this book told me about all the things I should get for my baby, practical everyday things that every expectant parent needs to have on hand, and what to look for when shopping for a particular product. I carried this book with me every time I shopped and checked things off as I made my purchases or registered for my baby shower. While shopping, other expectant moms asked me what I was referencing, and I shared the advice in the book with them right in the stores. Many of them bought a copy of the book for themselves. Using the information in this book I was completely prepared when my baby arrived.

I'm pregnant with my first baby and got this book as a gift. I absolutely LOVE IT! I had no idea what I was supposed to do or get and I feel like this book outlines it all for me. I would highly recommend it.
