I received this book from my sister-in-law as a hand me down. It was highly recommended from her. And it was such a big help!As a new mother, I did not know what to expect bringing a newborn home from the hospital. Each new thing was frightening because I was not sure if my baby was doing "normal" or "average" things. This book really helped ease the fear of being a first time mom (and dad! My husband is also addicted to the book!)

The book is divided up in months, so you can follow along as your child grows. We tend to read about a month ahead so we can know what to expect in our daughter's growth and development. Each section contains very helpful questions and answers, too!

The book is such an easy read and very insightful. If you enjoyed "What to Expect When You're Expecting," you will definitely enjoy "What to Expect the First Year!"
