Mother of All Baby Books

Ann Douglas had me at hello, when she started off the book with travel analogies. I love to travel and I totally related right away to what she was trying to say.

I found The Mother of All Baby Books super easy to read, and even though it was a hefty book, I was able to complete it in a fraction of the time it took for me to read similar sized Pregnancy / Parenting books.

While this edition was a little dated, I believe that with some creative revisions in the mind of the reader, the message is still clear and very helpful. Take for example when Douglas talks about the babymoon and using voicemail to provide baby updates to eager relatives and friends so that new parents could spend some uninterrupted time with their baby. All I had to do was sub "voicemail" for "social media" and voila, same results. I actually wish I had read this earlier (I was 31 weeks along when I started reading it), as there are some great tips on what new parents really need to buy and how to choose the one that is right for us. By the time I read that part, we had made most of our big purchases.

I also really appreciated the breastfeeding chapter as it talks about breastfeeding, bottle feeding and pacifiers, with tips and tricks for breastfeeding. While it is obvious that Douglas is a strong advocate for breastfeeding, I don't agree with some of the reviews I've read where people felt turned off because she was mom guilting them. I didn't feel like she was shoving breastfeeding down my throat at all, and in fact, she even acknowledges that some women may have trouble breastfeeding for various reasons, and may have to resort to using formula.

The Mother of All Baby Books is the 4th (pre) parenting book I've read and it's reassuring to know that a lot of this stuff has already been covered in some of the other books I've read and the message and research is very similar. My conclusion is it's a great book for those who only want to read one book.
