Customer Reviews

Highly informative - fanstastic read

This book made me feel ready to be a first time mom. Great education through others' stories. Very honest about the highs and lows of having a baby and figuring it all out. Felt like this was the "instruction manual" for having children.

Excellent Book!

This is a must-read for first time moms. A friend gave it to me a month after I gave birth to my first child and I cherished every page. I have bought several copies for friends of mine once they became mothers for the first time. It is very insightful and easy to read. I loved it!!

Sensible advice written in endearing language

I first read this book in its original language - Norwegian - and I really enjoyed the author's style. Furthemore, it has great illustrations and beautiful black/white photography. The author, Gro Nylander, is quite famous in Europe as a champion of breast-feeding, and this book covers this topic in great detail without becoming too lecturous. If I could have only one pregnancy-help book, this would be the one! It would make a very nice gift as well.
