Fantastic reference for Mothers November 2, 2008
Aussie Girl (Australia)
I actually purchased this for a friend. I had used it with my baby who is now six. It is full of simple, practical advice from home long a baby should feed, sleeping tips, crying technique management - you name it.
It's a great reference for all Mums with babies. The follow up is The Mighty Toddler which is also a great book to have.
A Great Handbook for Parents October 4, 2008
B MGee (New Zealand)
I first came across this book through an inlaw when my first baby was already four months old or so. As I traversed through snippets and sections of information I wished I had found it earlier.
It is an absolute gold mine of sensible information that provides a framework for decision making in the absense of hands on experience. My second child also benefited from brush ups on stage related information. And during those long sleep deprived days, my sanity benefited from being able to read ahead and see that stages pass.
All the basics are covered - how to know how much a baby should eat at various stages, diet ideas, sleep patterns, building blocks of routines. The lay out of the information makes it user friendly. An excellent index turns it into an essential handbook.
Finally a book that doesn't make me feel guilty! September 8, 2008
K. P. Lockhart (Kalgoorlie, WA Australia)
My only regret with this book is that I didn't buy it earlier and that I didn't read it before my baby was born! It is practical, down to earth advice, not wrapped up in opinion and ideologies that have a first time parent in knots. This book recognises that all babies are different and that there is a WIDE range of baby (and mother) behaviours that are totally normal. It was the first of many books that didn't leave me feeling guilty for not being able to live up to some parenting ideology that either my baby or I didn't fit, especially around sleep and crying (what a minefield of guilt that it is!) (I've read everything from for strict routines to attachment parenting). I also like the fact the Robin Barker is a midwife and health professional so her ideas and advice are based on a wide experience and knowledge of babies and mothers in the real world. I will be recommending this book to friends.
I bought this book from Australia and I think that there must be a US and an Australian version which I didn't realise at the time, would have preferred a local version if I'd known.
can't be beat! March 8, 2008
Niall ODonnell (San Jose, CA)
by far the best book for new mothers, and if you received it as a new mother, you know it's essential for the next time, and the next time... I doubt there is a question a mother couldn't find an answer to here. Perfect gift for a baby shower. Should be compulsory for new mums.
Great for first time parents June 21, 2007
Striding (Chicago, USA)
This book was given to me by an Australian friend. I own a couple of baby books as I am a first time mom without any support group. (just moved abroad before the baby came). My little one is now 10 months old and I have to say this book answered all the little questions I had. It gives many options for different problems, like feeding or sleeping, yet it does not preach or impose anything on you like so many books that make you feel like the worst mom on earth. That common sense approach is what I like about this book. Every mother/child is different and there is no universal solution. If you follow the recommendations in Baby Love you will feel save and provide well for your baby.
The book gives lots of information on different age groups, like newborn, 3-6months, 6-9months and 9-12months. It addresses changes that happen during that time in behavior, motor skills, feeding and sleeping. It reassures you with smaller medical problems and tells you when it's better to call the ped.
Over all I love this book and I will buy the toddler-version too.
