I looked at a few baby books and chose this one because it seems to give the most balanced view on topics such as co sleeping. The only negative is that it is a few years since it has been updated and information about weaning seems to have changed.

Great! Full of sound, sensitively written advice. Takes you thru new borns to toddlers. I'd recommend to all Mums as a staple book of their partenting collection.

"Reassuring without being preachy, its full of useful advice and information" with a really good ideas for how to entertain babies and young children and development information up to the age of five." "She makes the distinction between newborn and settled babies - I haven't really found this in other books, and theyre quite different creatures!" "I liked the description of what a baby goes through mentally and physically when theyre being born; it honestly helped me cope with the pain during labour. "Very emotive writing, it was a pleasure to read and I can relate to so much of what she writes."
