"I found this book invaluable. So many people are telling me I must get this item or that item - It's great to hear from an expert what I definitely need, might need and dontt need. The author's price points and recommendations will help when I do make that trip to the baby store! I also found his advise on what's ok to borrow and buy used to be invaluable. I recommend this book to all new moms-to-be as a 'must have!'"
"This being a first pregnancy for me, I was very interested in this book. It hasn't let me down. The book is pretty good really, & I would recommend it to any first time Mom who is uncertain of when she should buy what. The author explains how to use the book, breaks down the checklist by trimesters, offers advice for after the baby arrives, & even includes a pregnancy calander. "
"This is the only book I found with the kind of practical advice new parents need when they are preparing their home for the arrival of a new baby. From how many undershirts to buy for a winter baby vs. a summer baby, to equipment must-haves, this book is a thorough and helpful little volume. Written by a journalist confined to bed rest during her pregnancy, the book shows all the careful fact-collecting of a professional reporter. I have given this book to friends as a baby gift and can't recommend it highly enough! "
