 Excellent Resource For New Parents August 20, 2008
E. Long (Binghamton, New York)
I love this book! It is literally a BIBLE for new parents! It's well worth the money! I would recommend this book 100% of the time.
 What to expect the first year August 16, 2008
Caca (Hong Kong)
Interesting, humorous, comprehensive, very helpful. Recommend to read through it during pregnancy. You won't have time for reading after delivery.
 Too biased, opinionated August 14, 2008
Shannon Buonsanti (Azusa, CA)
It's obvious this book is full of helpful facts, but I couldn't get past the constant insertion of biased comments from the authors. In the Six-Month-Baby chapter they call parents "week nerved" (mispelling is theirs) because they don't use the Cry It Out method. There is also a constant use of negative adjectives like a babies "pathetic" hand wave to get parents attention (also in the Six-Month chapter).
I may refer to this book occasionally, but I will not recommend it to anyone. It will probably collect dust on my book shelf.
A TERRIFIC reference at your fingertips! August 7, 2008
Jan (Virginia)
First off, I would like to say that I was NOT a big fan of What to Expect When Expecting, so I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed What to Expect the First Year. Even my husband found himself reading it!
I received this book as a gift and absolutely LOVED it. It gives you developmental stages for every chapter by age. They break it down further to: what they should be doing at 1 month, 2 month, and so on, what they might be doing, and what advanced kids might be doing. I've found myself checking out each chapter so I can get an idea of what to expect (as the title states).
This book also includes illnesses, what to do, cuts/scrapes/etc. as well as recipes, different scenarios that come about and what you could do when facing the same challenges.
I can't tell you how much this book has come in handy when being a first time mom and your kid is sick. It calmed me down as I was calling the doctor because it gave suggestions on what to do in the meantime while you are awaiting your child's doctor's appointment. I'm not saying it's a cure-all, but it does give you enough information that it quells some of your worries.
I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that this book is "THE GUIDE" to everything, but it is a very good resource to help you along your parenting journey. Obviously this book is not going to speak for all kids, but it certainly helps out.
I bought the next stage What to Expect the Toddler Years because I loved the first one so much.
