Yes, like you, I've also read WHAT TO EXPECT..., YOUR PREGNANCY WEEK BY WEEK, & THE PREGNANCY BOOK. Much of the material in those books can be, well, a little frightening. THE EVERYTHING GET READY FOR BABY BOOK covers lots of areas from planning a nursery, what you'll want for baby's "layette," lists of names to consider, lullabies, how to feed and bathe baby, playtime, what to pack for your hospital stay, and more. As first time expectant parents, my husband & I enjoyed reading this book together. It's fun - lots of eyecatching graphics and anecdotes - and would always bring a smile and get us excited for baby! This book makes a great gift, too, for expectant friends. We've already shared a copy with three other couples we know awaiting their own newborns. Read the other "hard facts" pregnancy books, too, but if you're looking for some good preparatory information within a light-hearted read, you'll enjoy adding this book to your expectant library. We did!

This book provides such useless information such as the numerology of your baby's birthday and games to play at showers. As an first time expectant mother, this book provided very high level information that was inadequate. The only good thing I got out of it was what to take to the hospital for me and the new baby.

I got this as a hand-me-down from a friend. After reading, it I'm pretty sure I know why she didn't want to hang on to it for her next child. There is nothing in the book that was even remotely helpful to me. I would highly recommend that you buy Baby Bargains instead. It is a comprehensive guide for new parents detailing what you do and do not need for your little one. Baby Bargains is not only cheaper, but you'll get a heck of a lot more use out of it that you would from this book.

I saw this book at a store and thumbed through it. It recommends that Babies sleep on their SIDES using a side positioner. This is erroneous information. The National Institute of Health recommends ( and has for almost 12 years) that babies be placed on their BACKS with NO extra bedding, pillows or paraphernalia in the crib. ( unless a doctor, for medical reasons, recommends otherwise). SIDS is the #1 cause of death for babies under 1 year of age. Safe sleeping practices should warrant more space in a baby book than the incorrect sidebar in this book. It makes me wonder what other information in here is incorrect.

I love they way this book tell you waht is a must have and what is optional. Also, it gives you price ranges which is nice.

This book answered alot of questions. My husband and I had a terrific time reading it together. It has a lot of helpful hints and gave us some great ideas. Overall it is a very fun and informative book.
