5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, November 30, 1999
This review is from: Bringing Baby Home: A New Owners Manual for First Time Parents (Paperback)
As soon as I picked up the book- I felt like she was speaking to me...I'm a first time mom-to-be...and I have a lot of baby anxiety. It's excellent for those who want a real down-to-earth reading about baby care. I would totally recommend it to friends and am considering buying this book as a shower gift for my friends who will be having babies.

5.0 out of 5 stars How-To Parenting for Beginners with Newborn, April 7, 1999
This review is from: Bringing Baby Home: A New Owners Manual for First Time Parents (Paperback)
Reading this book is like sitting at Laura Zahn's kitchen table and getting the scoop on what to expect when you bring your new bundle of joy home. It's written in a friendly, sincere, down-to-earth tone. I read it several times before my son was born and it really helped me feel emotionally prepared. It's small enough that you can read it cover to cover, and yet it also has an index so you can use it as a reference, later. I also bought Penelope Leach's book and Dr. Spock's latest edition. They are great for reference, but page for page, I got more good information from Zahn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Down-to-earth, first-hand advice, June 6, 2000
This review is from: Bringing Baby Home: A New Owners Manual for First Time Parents (Paperback)
The author relates wonderful, realistic first-hand experiences. It was a nice companion to the more clinical, medically oriented books I had. It was like a girlfriend was telling me exactly went she through--no judgements, no child-psychology mumbo jumbo, just what it's like to bring home a new human being that is totally dependent on you.

I bought this book 5 yrs. ago when I had my son and have purchased it several times since as gifts for pregnant friends.
