Saving Time. Saving Money. Making things easier. That's what The Baby Web is all about. Want to know the web address of a particular brand of clothing? Or the maker of that great new educational toy?

It untangles the Web.

It's All About Baby From A To Z.

From the Author

“While I was pregnant with my son Zachary, and especially during maternity leave, I searched for a book like The Baby Web because it was something I could really use. The amazing thing to me was that nothing like this was available anywhere. Not at the library. Not in the bookstores, online or otherwise.

Being a computer professional, I know how helpful the Internet can be for anyone who is even the least bit computer-savvy. And especially helpful for the parents of new babies, who never have enough time or opportunity to go shopping, run errands or get to the library. When you go online, you can find clothing, products and information that just aren’t available locally. Do you have a store in your town that sells toys for girls only? A store just for preemie clothing? A place nearby where you can get health questions answered about your baby in the middle of the night? It’s all available on the Web. It’s just a matter of knowing where to look. The problem is, finding that out can take thousands of hours. That what it took me.

What I feel I’m doing by writing and publishing this book is fulfilling a need that I know exists. With The Baby Web, I feel like I’m helping parents turn surfing the Web into child’s play.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome shortcut to help you navigate the internet!, July 22, 2002

By	Melanie Wilson "vegetarianbabydotcom" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Everyone knows that the Internet is a great resource for information and a great alternative to traditional catalog shopping. Unfortunately, weeding through literally millions of sites can be both time-consuming and frustrating. Since time is a precious commodity when you have young children, getting someone else to do the weeding is a welcome shortcut, and that is what this book delivers. Think of this book as the yellow pages for baby websites.  The 1,200 sites are listed by category and also in an alphabetical index. Categories include: Announcements, Baby Care Products, Baby Gear, Baby Names, Bedding & Furniture, Clothing, Food & Feeding Supplies, Gifts and Gift Baskets, Health & Safety, Parenting Advice, Pregnancy & Breastfeeding, and Toys. Many of my favorite sites were listed, and some new ones that I have since bookmarked.  This book is a great starting point for a new parent or someone new to the web, but it is also a good resource for anyone interested in finding new websites for parenting tips and products on the Internet.  There are a couple of sites that I probably would not have included if I were making a list since they offered only one or two items or were intended for dealers rather than consumers, but out of 1,200 sites that's a pretty good track record.  You will need access to the World Wide Web and a basic understanding of navigating the web to get the full benefit of the book, although many of the sites listed also include a customer service phone number.  --Reviewed by Teresa Burgess

If you have a baby, or need to purchase baby items, or need information about babies, then this is the RESOURCE to get it from. Gretchen Nalley has carefully placed all the websites that pretains to babies, from baby gifts, to parenting to care of baby and everything in between. A quick reference guide to take you to where you need to be without having to search and search. Thank you Gretchen for a job well-done!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gift for New Parents, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

I am one of the unfortunate ones who had their kids too early for this book, if only it had been around when they were younger. But that hasn't stopped me from buying this book - I have given it as gifts! The time saved in not having to search the web for the websites & information that is in this book is invaluable for parents that already find their time at a minimun with the demands of a new baby.

This is a must have!
