Your Baby Week by Week: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your New Baby

"I completely recommend this guide for any first time mums - I'd never changed a nappy in my life until my 8 week old arrived and this book has provided constant, non-judgemental and reassuring advice without preaching about set routines that seem designed to make you feel worried and guilty! As the other reviews say the week by week format is very easy to read and digest and there's just enough information without being overwhelming. I've also recommended this guide to all new mothers and hope the authors are reading these reviews so that they know how much they are appreciated! "

"I love this book! It is really easy to read and doesn't try to get you to follow a set routine. It feels like you are listening to really good advice from a friend who knows what she's talking about. It sets realistic guidelines for what you can expect your baby to be doing and when and tells you that it is perfectly normal for your baby not to be there yet either! Easy to pick up and find what you're looking for. I recommended this to all of my friends."

"As a bit of a book worm, I brought loads of books on my new baby. However this one was by far and away the best. No contest.

As a new Mum you get very little free time to sit down and read for hours. This book gives a detailed week-by-week breakdown on what your little-one is doing and as a result you only have to read one chapter a week. The info is useful, interesting and invaluable and really settled my mind about what was happening.

If you want a weighty, in-depth tome on child development this is not the book for you, but if you only have 10 mins between feeds or before the next colic induced melt-down this book is an excellent place to start. "

"I bought about 10 baby books! but this one was by far the best. Each chapter is based on each week of your little one's life up to 6 months and covers what you should expect about then for feeding, nappy contents, sleep and other general good tips. As a very new mum I did not have a clue, this book was such a good help. I'd definately recommend it."

"This book is fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to all new mums. It gives sensible and realistic advice, and its week by week format means that it is not too overwhelming to read when you first come out of hospital. I also found that any scares or questions I had relating to the baby were covered in the book, and it is a really useful reference book, even though it is not a huge tome. It is a welcome relief to the often joyless and militant routine-obsessed books that are out there, and encourages you to enjoy time with your baby and not become fixated by sleep times/feeding times, whilst at the same time suggesting sensible routines after a certain number of weeks. I have recommended it to all my friends who are expecting - it was a real lifeline for me. The only small point is that the advice on making up formula milk is now out of date due to new WHO guidelines, but don't let this put you off. Thank you to the authors!!! "
