Book Description

0743484762 978-0743484763 October 5, 2004
Real moms. Real advice. Real fast.

The experts tell you what you should be doing.

But they don't know what you're really going through.

We do. "We're real moms."

When you're so sleepy you can't remember the last time you brushed your teeth, and you find yourself crying at diaper commercials, you know you're a new mom. And the only thing you need right now -- besides a housekeeper, a personal trainer, a masseuse, and a very long nap -- is a crash course in mommy know-how.

Look no further! "The Gallagher Guide to the Baby Years" gives you the straight skinny on everything from coping with morning sickness to making potty training a breeze. It's a handy reference of indispensable product ratings, brand recommendations, and advice that's been tested in the trenches. All ranked, rated, and ready for you to use right now! Discover:

  • how real moms cope with morning sickness, heartburn, and bed rest

  • the one infant car seat no mom should be without

  • the ten most important features to look for in a stroller

  • why you don't have to buy a pricey high chair -- and what to get that's cheaper and better

  • eight sure-fire strategies for getting baby to sleep through the night

  • seven secrets for getting dad to help out more

  • incredible tools for time-crunched moms

    ...and much, much more in this essential "cheat sheet" for the twenty-first century mom.

    From Kapolei, Hawaii, to Kent, England, the 200 moms -- including 30 doctor-moms -- who contributed to the book come from all over the world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Baby Guide Ever!, October 30, 2004
    This review is from: The Gallagher Guide to the Baby Years, 2005 Edition: The Real Moms' Survey of Top-Rated Products and Advice (Paperback)
    I happened to receive the first guide (published in small quantities) as a giveaway and loved it. When I saw that a second version was coming out I jumped all over it!!!

    This book has been such a wonderful reference book for me through pregnancy, childbirth, infanthood, and now into toddlerhood! I use it all the time and have pages dogeared for reference!

    The advice of hundreds of moms just like me is invaluable, you get a good cross section of reviews and can choose a solution that works for you.

    I recommend anyone pregnant, with an infant or toddler get this book NOW!

    5.0 out of 5 stars great compiled advice, October 10, 2004
    This review is from: The Gallagher Guide to the Baby Years, 2005 Edition: The Real Moms' Survey of Top-Rated Products and Advice (Paperback)
    I am usually pretty skeptical of "advice books," but this one has a huge advantage. It is the pooled wisdom of moms all over the country, with all ages of kids. The editor compiles all the responses into Top 10 lists, which I found really helpful, and then adds individual quotes from moms. There is lots of really clever advice, and good reviews of some of the mountains of baby products out there. This is a great gift for a mom-to-be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars User-Friendly Guide -- Must-Have for New Moms, May 10, 2005
    This review is from: The Gallagher Guide to the Baby Years, 2005 Edition: The Real Moms' Survey of Top-Rated Products and Advice (Paperback)
    When you trade in your DINK status for a new-mom status, you cannot be without this guide. It is easy to use, practical, and offers loads of testimonials from moms who have been there, done that. I can't think of a more useful resource for new parents who are wading through the thicket of the early days. Its format is reminiscent of a travel guide, only its purpose is to offer you a roadmap through the confusing consumer chasm that baby superstores can be. Get this book before you need it -- you'll be glad you did!
