Customer Reviews

Good Preparation
I thought this was a good book - VERY easy to read and worked it's way through the chapters well. It certainly helped set the foundations for the early days of parenthood, although I don't feel it's the kind of book that I'll have lying around to use as a reference tool once the bundle of joy arrives. It has definitely made me feel a lot calmer about the whole thing and I'd recommend it to anybody as an excellent starting point.

Useful even for the experienced mum
I was intending to buy this book for a friend who is about to have her first baby. I have just had my third baby, and how I wish I had this book when I was having my first. It's funny and lighthearted (some books are so serious and prescriptive that they are in danger of taking all the joy and instinct out of mothering a new baby) and yet it's informative and comprehensive. I liked reading the experiences of real parents and the views of real professionals. The book definitely doesn't treat you as if birth has left your one remaining brain cell addled by hormones! In fact I found it so useful in reminding me of all the things I had forgotten, and telling me things I didn't know, that I'm going to get a copy of my own.

Great 'new baby' book
I loved the tone which was supportive without being patronising, was sympathetic and at the same time very amusing. I felt like it tried to be unbiased and was good in helping me not to panic about the things that new mums panic about.
