Book Reviews of What to Expect the First Year
Book Review: Scares mothers to death!
Summary: 2 Stars
What To Expect When Expecting was good info for being pregnant the first time. However, when I found out I was pregnant, I felt confident that I could be a good mother. By the time I had read What To Expect The 1st Year, I felt like a paranoid idiot. NOT ALL BABIES ARE THE SAME!!! In this day and age of EXPERTS on everything, I think we need to remember who the experts are here--the MOTHERS. We know our kids better than anyone. I went and bought Dr. Spock's revised ed. The first sentence is TRUST YOURSELF. I don't feel like such an idiot anymore. Not all babies start on solids at 4mo or can put themselves to sleep, or want juice, etc. Only mothers know what their babies need.Book Review: This book was a lifesaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel that What to Expect When You're Expecting is a must for every new parent as well as veteraned pro. This book really saved me from a lot of needless calls to the doctor during my pregnancy. Since I am a young parent, it helped me to better understand what I was going through. I recommend this book to all expecting parents. You can't live without it.Book Review: Be careful giving this book, it might be the fifth copy!
Summary: 3 Stars
This book seems top the list of books to give an expectant mother. I was given 5 copies, after I had bought one for myself! When I went to return them the woman behind the counter said "This happens all the time." The information in the book is well organised and easy to refer back to, but also quite strict. When exhausted from taking care of a newborn, a little forgiveness goes a long way.Book Review: A wonderful guide-book for first time parents & grandparents
Summary: 5 Stars
What To Expect The First Year is a wonderful guide for first time parents -- and grandparents, too! It takes you step-by-step through everything you need to know (or remember) about caring for baby...what baby's needs are, what baby will be doing during certain periods of growth, innoculations needed, etc. The best part is that this book gives guidelines, not absolutes, so that you don't worry if your baby is 'doing it on time' or 'doing it right'. A great help to all new parents and grandparents!Book Review: best book i have ever read.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very helpful. I would recomend it to anyone who is pregant. My husband even read it and loved it. Step by step on what they are going to do at your checkups and what the baby will look like at that month. Helps alot if you lose it also and explains why it might have happened to you. VERY GOOD BOOK.
