Customer Reviews

Great Book
Even though I have been around many babies I gained a lot from reading this book. It was great how my husband (who has zero experience with babies) and I both learned things from the author's easy to read style of writing. I recommend getting a copy of this book for yourself as well as one for anyone you know who is pregnant or who just had a baby because if you lend it out you won't be getting it back!
