Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-26 00:00:00 Charles Waller This is one of the best books for new parents.  It is full of all sorts of helpful info about everything.  I reference this book quite often.  A great gift for a new mom.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-04-06 00:00:00 Karen Hirsch Forget What To Expect the First Year, this book is way better. It's based on statistical evidence, has a user-friendly format, and clearly explains the developmental stages of your child. Plus, it has a huge topical index at the end covering everything from rashes and fevers to behavioral issues. It's the exact same advise your pediatrician would give you. I've used this book again and again, whether to see if my child is reaching appropriate milestones or to check if a spot on their skin is eczema. If I had to choose one book for new parents, this would be it.
