Step-by-step in depth baby & child care

I think this book is brilliant. I and every other girl received it during out AuPair Induction, this was 5 years ago. I am a wife and my husband and I are trying to conceive. If you want one single compact, IMPACT book on childcare, this is the one to buy. It covers from the basic layette, thru in-depth tracking of meals and health, and toilet training to nursery equipment checklists and home safety. I presume this book was written with the eye on childcare institutions like day care centers, but I think it is perfect for first time, clueless parents as well as the "trained professional". You won't go wrong with this well rounded book.
