What a Thorough Baby Registry Resourc Book

I'm a list person. Baby Lists is chock full of useful advice, information and recommendations in a format that's easy for a "list person" like me to understand. Baby Lists goes step by step through every baby product you could want to buy. It lists what to look for to get a safe product and gives you things to think about and consider when picking out products. It lists only the top brand choices for car seats, strollers and other big items as well as top choices for small items such as health care products, bath time products and products for nursing mothers. Unlike many books that give general information Baby Lists gives specific information about each product. It's a very hands on type of book, packed with lots of essential information and things to think about both before and after your baby arrives. If you're expecting or need a great prebaby shower gift this book is definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic Resource

I learned about this book from my prenatal class. As a first time mom with no clue I found this book to be indispensable in helping me figure out what I needed to do to get ready for my baby. I hadn't even thought about interviewing a pediatrician or creating a birth plan. The first section of this book lists all the things you need to do as expectant parents before the baby arrives. The second section in this book told me about all the things I should get for my baby, practical everyday things that every expectant parent needs to have on hand, and what to look for when shopping for a particular product. I carried this book with me every time I shopped and checked things off as I made my purchases or registered for my baby shower. While shopping, other expectant moms asked me what I was referencing, and I shared the advice in the book with them right in the stores. Many of them bought a copy of the book for themselves. Using the information in this book I was completely prepared when my baby arrived.

Wonderful Baby Registry Resource

This book is a well organized, comprehensive guide to what you need the first year. I like that it tells you what are necessities versus what are nice things to have, but not necessarily necessities. Also, I like the chapter on nursery accessories, things like cute drawer pulls, scented drawer liners and switch plates. Things I didn't find in other product recommending books. I also found the first section of this book really helpful. Without this book I would never have known how to create a bifth plan, stock my medicine kit or how to interview a prospective nanny. The Feeding Schedule Sheet and Emergency Phone Numbers and Safety/Health Information Sheet are another great feature in this book. It's the only book I found that told what I needed to do and what I needed to buy all in one book.

Every expectant parent needs this book!

Elaine Farber has created the best consumer's guide to baby products, and as a top-notch baby nurse, she is an authority on the subject. She has really done her homework and gives you reviews and practical advice on what you need for your new baby. Great book, highly recommend.

Awesome Book

I'm pregnant with my first baby and got this book as a gift. I absolutely LOVE IT! I had no idea what I was supposed to do or get and I feel like this book outlines it all for me. I would highly recommend it.
