Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

It's the first of its kind in an audio book. "Baffled About Baby?" is designed to smooth the transition into parenthood without having to piece together a ton of information from magazines, books, and newspapers. Usually, one of 2 parents won't have the time to read anything. But, with this audiobook, listeners can review important baby care tips, obtain the knowledge they need, and further investigate those tips that interest or concern them.

If just one tip in this 2-CD set eases the care of a child, or saves the life of a child, we consider the benefit worth the cost of publishing.

From the Author

We started out by casually polling new parents to see how they prepared themselves for the coming of their baby. We ended with discovering that 95% of the new fathers never read any information on their baby's care - instead they depended on the mother to inform them of what they needed to know. That was just the beginning.

Many mothers only read select portions of the reference material they had. And, when asked if they should feed their grandchildren honey, most of the grandparents questioned why they shouldn't.

Hence the development of "Baffled About Baby?", a 2-CD set that can be reviewed quickly and easily in the car or anywhere a CD can be played. Read when you have more time, but until then give no excuses...just listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally..., October 20, 2003

Finally, someone gives us a break. It's not that I don't want to read up, and take classes. I'm just to busy to be believed. I have a daughter on the way, and I am a real estate agent. My time is not my own right now. So, between open houses, I have listened to this 2-CD set that my wife bought for us. It informs you about things like "over stimulation" and "gas", and even gives you a simple play-by-play about putting on a diaper. The tips are in a very organized format. We are still taking a class, but at least I won't go in there feeling like a complete idiot.

I found this audio book to be a relaxing escape from the stressful preparations one has to make for the coming of their first child. I listened to little bits of this CD on the way to work, and discovered new and interesting facts about caring for my son. It was very relaxing and helped me step into the role of new father without all of the anxiety.

This is a terrific resource which I highly recommend to new parents and/or baby caregivers. It is extremely user-friendly and is great for anyone (most of us) short on time. I was especially impressed with the detail and quantity of information given, and found the narrator to be both professional and warm. The CD format is a terrific twist on a very functional must-have item for expectant parents, childcare providers, or anyone who loves babies. It has now become my shower gift of choice!
