This is my first parental experience for me and my wife .we expect a little girl in a few months. We are very excited and we are trying to get prepared as best as we can. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Book of Pregnancy and Child Care was really a very good choice, it was recommended by a friend whose case is very similar to mine. The book is very good to read and use as a reference too, it is very detailed dealing with every case the mother may have from serious illness to leg crumbs .The book really covers all three stages of pregnancy, childbirth and childcare in a way that satisfies you and keeps you away from the headache of buying other books for such stages. Having such source of information covering mother health during and after pregnancy, baby's nutrition, signs and behavior milestones gave us too much confidence to deal with our first child in a professional way. One last comment is that the book is very bold at stating facts that may harm your baby like for example what smoking may cause to the baby. I think the book is reliable, complete and advanced

This book is a wealth of information; I've already tried many of the parenting techniques provided with great success. It never makes it back to my bookshelf for long because I am always referring to it. What's more, the information is presented in an objective, non-judgemental way. You are never made to feel like you're a "bad mother" just because you can't stay home from work or have trouble breastfeeding. It simply provides all the information you need, then the decision is up to you to decide what's best for you and your baby. A nice change from some of the other parenting books that seem to be written by authors who believe that their way is the only way.
