 10 star must have July 12, 2008
The what to expect series is a must have for ANY mother, not just a first timer.
Excellent - my "baby bible"! (Not in a religious way...) July 1, 2008
We bought a whole host of books to help us be great parents to our first baby and this book was by far and away the best. It presents up-to-date research in a non-biased way. The explanations are detailed and interesting and not at all patronising.
I've read other reviews that find some of the conclusions drawn in this book unacceptable, e.g. that breastfeeding is best for the baby (proven by scientific research), so the conclusion is that most mothers will choose (and be able) to breastfeed, so there is a lot of information about breastfeeding. But there is equally enough information to make an informed decision on whether or not to breastfeed and the benefits and drawbacks of both formula and breastfeeding are listed.
I found the book to be open-minded and not too prescriptive. So, I read the information and chose to try some of the different methods mentioned. I didn't feel pushed to use or not use any of the methods, so for example, I used a mixture of formula and breast-feeding from 6 months to 1 year, which is one of the options presented in the book.
The research is documented in such a way that you feel well-informed about any choice that you make.
Those friends I know who have enjoyed this book are mostly intelligent, well educated and dedicated to providing the best care for their babies (the baby comes first!), without neglecting their own health or happiness and that of their husbands.
