A pretty good mag
As a mom with only one kid (who is about a year old), I definitely like the Early Years version of Parenting better than the regular Parenting magazine. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of Parenting because, well, I guess it's just not "me." Sometimes reading those articles, I would just feel overwhelmed, like having moms who give you their advice about everything without you asking. It was especially not helpful when I was still pregnant and more easily overwhelmed anyway. :)

But, the things that I do like about Parenting mag (the tidbits about kids at specific ages) are what makes the Early Years edition valuable to me: it focuses on babies and young children.

So, if you like Parenting magazine (basically a women's mag for the 24/7 mom's point of view, complete with playgroup mentality), the Early Years version is a step up if you want to focus on that age group. I have enjoyed the issues, don't get me wrong. I just don't love them.

great magazine
I have had a subscription for this magazine before and I have enjoyed reading it, it has great tips on all different subjects parents deal with in raising their children. It was a free gift subscription for a year and couldn't pass it up, Great buy

Aka Mothering Magazine
I decided to try out this magazine and see how it is since I'm expecting. Upon reading it though I found that most of the articles involve stay-at-home moms, mothers, and women in general. In the three issues I have gotten I have not seen one article about stay-at-home fathers, fathers or men in general. For me this is unacceptable since it is my husband who is going to be the stay-at-home parent so most of the articles were usless for us.
For example this month had articles about:
Working in working out "How moms like you tackle the exercise obsticles"
Your Toys Beauty (info about hair coloring and eyebrows)
Bring Sexy Back "Having kids can wreak havoc on mom's mojo faster than grape juice can stain a white carpet"
Mother'hood (their feedback section)
Their Talk "We asked, kids answered: When did mom make you mad"


Pros:
There are some interesting ideas in the articles invovling children. Especially the food ideas.

Cons:
The articles are too focused on women often ignoring the point of view of the man altogether.
