This is the only book I found with the kind of practical advice new parents need when they are preparing their home for the arrival of a new baby. From how many undershirts to buy for a winter baby vs. a summer baby, to equipment must-haves, this book is a thorough and helpful little volume. Written by a journalist confined to bed rest during her pregnancy, the book shows all the careful fact-collecting of a professional reporter. I have given this book to friends as a baby gift and can't recommend it highly enough

I buy this for friends as soon as I hear that they are expecting their first. There are so many practical things that you just don't know until after you actually have a baby, and then you're stuck with the stroller that takes two hands and a PhD to fold up. This little book is solid consumer advice, and gives the feeling that these decisions are not that impossible after all.

This book tells you where to save money, but also, where you should spend a bit more for the convenience of certain products. The checklists are very helpful. Baby stores provide checklists, but these lists usually recommend getting 10 of everything. This book lets you know what you really need and what should be optional. Highly recommended.

I bought this with out first child- felt like an idiot- you `can get all this on the internet for free- google checklist for baby- you'll get- well, this book! and if you join a moms club or a mom online community you can get the scoop on what is 'really" useful or not.. this book doesn't help you on this.. I donated my copy to our local library.. :)

This book was very helpful! I definately recommend it to all first time mothers.
