From the back cover: Sure Practical Advice you NEVER thought you'd hear!!  This book is light-hearted with a little humor about handling and managing motherhood with mild bumps and not large craters.  All the other stuff is left to the experts.

This book is like having a conversation with an experienced mother; definitely someone who has been there!  I love the conversational tone, the short chapters and the blank pages for taking notes.  Being a mom of five, I knew the majority of the information given in the book, but now I have it all in one place and internet links to go with the tidbits of information to further my education. The chapter on rocking a baby was especially insightful.  I should have known the link would be related Dr. William Sears and family!  I never thought about the conditioning we do to our babies when we rock them.  The resources listed throughout the book are compiled at the end in an easy reference section.

Many other reviews have said that this is a must read, should be included in the take home packages given to new moms and that the information is accurate.  I concur!  Thanks for a well-written, and relaxed approach to the first year!
