Complete Baby and Childcare Dr Miriam Stoppard

I have just bought the new updated edition of this book and have to say I am very impressed. I have several baby and child care books but this is by far the easiest to use as it so well organised. The best sections are the first aid and health chapters. Lots of vital information and a brilliant reference for all parents, not just those with young children. A really good all-round parenting book.

I thought this book was good and the information useful for first time parents.

This is a great book. Quite basic in many ways but covers a lot of areas. Good "starter" book for the first time parent with not much experience. Personally, I would go buy another book with more facts and information to "fill out" my knowledge rather than rely on this one solely - but then I like to read around any topic :)

"It's a fantastic book that covers a range of topics from breastfeeding to putting your baby to sleep and uses pictures to guide you on how to do things." "Great for beginners; a factual, well-researched overview." "The clear layout and good index makes it especially easy to dip into when you just want to look something up."
