This is not a bad book, it is very comprehensive and well written, so it is fun to read and contains useful information. It seems intended to be read through more than as a reference book.
However, in my opinion it is a bit too much. The information overloads the reader and then it is difficcult to remember the key things a new mom has to have in mind.It would suit you if you have a control freak side and want to know absolutelly everything about -1 yr old babies. It won't suit you if you are an aprehensive person.

This is a book to turn to for help on every aspect of parenting small children. It's well laid out, easy to find specific information, and concise without being dry. It covers everything from developmental stages, to healthy eating (including recipe ideas), childhood diseases, immunisation and first aid, helping your child develop ethics and good values. It's a hefty tome, reflecting a vast amount of knowledge gathered by the two authors over many years, and it was my crutch!

You may want to buy additional guides to parenting if you are struggling with a particular aspect of parenting, particularly the emotional and behavioural aspects, but this may be the one book that you turn to constantly until your child is 3.

I was given this book by a friend and can honestly say I so pleased that they gave it to me. You can skip sections and come back to areas that you are unsure of. It has questions by people in the same situation and answers them clearly.

I was concerned about a few of the myths surrounding the birth- for example my waters breaking whilst still at work or in the middle of the supermarket....but the book actually puts things in perspective.

Having a pregnancy that resulted in seeing a consultant for most of it, I have found this book useful as it gave more information on what was wrong than the consultant (To whom its all routine - and you always forget to ask when face to face) without scarying me.

I am sure ... Read More:

Books : What to Expect Gift Set: What to Expect When You're Expecting - What to Expect the First Year
These 2 books are by far the best ones I have read. Someone gave me them as a present and I have since bought them for all my friends who have had children. They answer all the questions you can possibly think of - and believe me, I had a lot! Very down-to-earth, solid, practical advice and a month by month analysis of what to expect.
If you are thinking of buying a pregnancy/baby book this gift set would be my first choice.

Books : What to Expect When You're Expecting
The drawback for this book is it clearly explains almost every possible complication. With the monthly format it is a lot to read at a time. The list of complications and possible symptoms each moth can be very daunting. Yet with all of that the book is also a great resource. It gives you many things to consider that you may never have thought of. It is much more comprehensive than many other pregnancy books. It has some nice charts in the back to help you keep track of weight, size and other notes for the Doctor's or Midwives. It also has a section for coping with pregnancy loss and also preparing for the next child. A good resource for any couple expecting a child. With over 12 Million copies sold this book now, in it's 3rd edition has been trusted by many ... Read More:

Books : What to Expect When You're Expecting
I wish I hadn't bought this book. It has a lot of information, but
it's hard to sort out what's widely agreed on and what's just the
opinion of the book's authors. After doing a fair bit of research I
see that a lot is the latter, and some of it is pretty way out. There
is an assumption that you will do what your doctor (sic: not midwife)
says, without question, and even that you should assume you need
permission for everything, e.g. it says that you might like music
while you are in labour "if the doctor allows"! Typical of the tone is
that homebirth is scarcely mentioned except to scare you about what
might happen if you don't go to hospital soon enough (i.e. you don't
want an unplanned home birth, do you).

I really recommend this book especially to first time parents. It covers everything from what to eat to answering questions men are intimidated to ask about pregnancy and child birth.
