Can't beat words straight from moms

I have been a mom 5 months plus 9 months in the making. In that time I have read a dozen books on parenting and babies from the "experts". But in none of them have I found what I found in Mom to Mom by Gloria Adler. The advice, hints and descriptions coming straight from moms themselves all rang so true in what I have been seeing in my own baby. I have read so many good ideas from a range of topics including travel, eating, sleeping and cldeaning up. I went online to try to find another edition of this valuable book an hope she compiles one soon! It's a short, easy read. And the book is small and lightweight enough to hold in one hand while you nurse the baby with the other. THOSE are the kind of books I need right now.
