What to Expect the Toddler Years - Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi E Murkoff, Sandee E Hathaway

I bought this book after having used What to Expect: the First Year which I found very useful. I like the dip-in, dip-out style, which means that you can choose which bits you want to read and which to skip, without problems.

The Authors' style is quite relaxed, which I felt very comfortable with. Even if DS is my PFB, this book did not increase anxiety or concerns about any issues and generally gave good, level-headed and balanced advice.

"Excellent in terms of thoroughness, the only thing they miss out is the phone number of the author so that parents can have a sympathetic ear when their kid isn't sleeping.. again! (but it's OK because I've got mumsnet!)" "It includes many extra chapters on topics like childcare, potty training, weaning, teething and illnesses that all parents want to know about." "It covers up to age three with lots of useful age-appropriate advice" and" though the tone is a textbook l and formal at times, it's comprehensiveness and accessible Q and A style (plus milestones) can't be faulted."
