My wife and I read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and it was amazing so we were really excited to read this book. Let me tell you, all of your questions will be answered in this book. Also, the book is written in a way that is easy to understand. The tips in it are very practical and easy to apply to everyday life. It speaks about different stages of the first year of your child's life. The sidebars of the pages are packed with highlighted "quick tips" and that is very helpful when you're looking through a book trying to find answers in a frenzy! This book really covers it all from burping, feeding, first foods, safe toys, how to travel with baby, and most importantly, how to get more sleep with a new baby in the house. HIGHLY recommended!!
