Is our baby eating enough? Is this much crying normal? How do I know when she is really sick? This hefty, 671-page guide to your baby's first year is brought to you by the creators of the bestselling What to Expect When You're Expecting. The three authors, all mothers themselves, are calm, clear, and encouraging as they tackle the first year of child-rearing, month by month. The easy-to-absorb, chronological format includes sections such as "What Your Baby May Be Doing," "What You Can Expect at This Month's Checkups," "Feeding Your Baby This Month," "What You May Be Concerned About," and "What It's Important to Know."
Part Two addresses special concerns such as illness, first aid do's and don'ts, the low-birthweight baby, the adopted baby, becoming a father, and sibling relationships. You'll also find discussions of breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, selecting a physician for the baby, diapers and clothing, safety, and many ways of stimulating the baby's development. The recipes for babies and toddlers in Part Three are useful, as are the recommended home remedies; charts on common childhood illnesses; height and weight; and the thorough index. (A particular strength of the book is the authors' careful attention to diet and nutrition for both mother and baby, incorporating the American Academy of Pediatrics' latest recommendations on infant nutrition.) While some of the authors' perspectives are controversial (such as whether to let your baby "cry it out" or not), this book remains one of the most comprehensive resources for new parents as they toddle through their baby's first year.

GREAT BOOK FOR EXPECTING PARENTS!.......2007-10-15
Another great book by this author to help parents know what to expect after the birth of their child. After reading this book, parents should feel more knowledgeable. BRAVO! AVOIDING THE 15 BIGGEST MISTAKES PARENTS MAKE: A PEDIATRICIAN'S PERSPECTIVE
MUCH better than the pregnancy version.......2007-10-01
I hated what to expect when you're expecting. I found it totally paranoid and annoying. This book, however, was very useful. I enjoyed the monthly breakdown of developmental skills and issues that might come up. It's in a question/answer format, which is easy to read on only a few hours sleep.
Just what a new parent-to- be needs!.......2007-09-30
What To Expect the First Year, Second Ed
My daughter & son-in-law were delighted to receive this book and find it to be informative, helpful and easy to read.
Very Helpful.......2007-09-27
I felt this book was very helpful as a first time mother. Many things that you'll question can be found in this book, and more.
LOVE this series.......2007-09-20
An absolute must for the intelligent parent. This series is not for the paranoid (it will only make you more obsessed about where your child "ranks" amongst otherchildren. This great easy to read book series (what to expect when you are expecting,... the first year... the toddler years) does just what it says it does. It gave us a guide to lessen the shocks and surprises that my daughter kept in store for us. It also helps me to gauge if any social or developmental abnormalities are occuring so that I can seek help if neccesary. Because of this series (in good part) When my daughter had her first peanut reaction on her 1st birthday I knew what was possible, watched, caught it, and got her medical attention immediately. I now carry a life saving Epi-pen. If you are now paranoid , don't get the books. If you can be rational and want to be aware, then run to get it, love it.
Book Description

This is the best book a parent could have.......2007-09-21
I was recommended this book from my hospital. I love this book. I look at it every time I questions something about my baby. It has helped me so much. It's my baby bible. I would strongly recommend it to all parents. It has also saved many phone calls to my pediatrician. I now buy it for all my expecting friends.
Must have for new parents-to-be........2007-09-01
Great reference book! Every new parent should have this. It is fairly objective with a smattering of professional opinions. Easy to read. I read it front to back, and now refer to it as a reference for specific questions and situation that arise as my child grows.
Great Go to / Baby Bible .......2007-08-29
Comprehensive, funny and easy to read. I needed it and it was there for me!
Great for Basics on What to Expect.......2007-08-23
Not having much time for extensive research and reading a library of books, I'm enjoying working through this book. It's matter-of-fact, blunt, but funny, too. While I'm taking a laid back and open minded approach to what having 2 new babies will be like (twins), this book is definitely helping to relieve some of my anxiety of the unexpected, too. Is the dad-to-be not reading up too much on what to expect?? I recommend this book. It's easy reading that goes quickly, yet manages to be very informing, too.
terrific resource for first time moms!.......2007-08-17
i discovered this book in the waiting room of my ob/gyn office. i was flipping through it one day while i was waiting for my appointment while i was pregnant with my first child. i immediately went out and bought a copy. this book is a tremendous resource - especially if you are a first time mom. it kept me from calling the pediatrician's office about a dozen times because i could figure out what was going on with my child by reading about symptoms and conditions described in the book. i refer to it all the time. and i have several pregnant girlfriends now - all of whom i've purchased this book for as a gift. i can't endorse it highly enough!

Customer Reviews:
Some common sense, but much dangerous information sprinkled with politics.......2007-09-30
It's unfortunate that the American Academy of Pediatrics would use this book to push their political agendas about gun control. On page 389 it says
"The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports gun control legislation. We believe that handguns, deadly air guns, and assault weapons should be banned. Until handguns are banned, we recommend that handgun ammunition be regulateed, that restrictions be placed on handgun ownership, and the the number of privately owned handguns be reduced."
People who are buying this book are looking for baby advice, not political garbage. It's sad that AAP would stoop so low to include comments such as this.
They also make dangerous recommendations about how to put your child in the car seat on page 411:
"Place a small rolled up diaper or receiving blanket bewteen the crotch strap and your baby to prevent his lower body from sliding too far forward."
This is contrary to manufacturer's recommendations with car seats and any seat that uses a seat belt. In an accident the rolled up diaper/blanket would compress and cause the belts to be too loose, potentially causing additional injury or even allow the baby to come out of the belts/seat altogether.
I bought it as a Baby Shower GIFT.......2007-09-30
My friend said this book helped her, I'm going based on her review of it...I bought it for her a year ago and I seen it in her bathroom recently. So she's been reading it!
Great free book.......2007-09-09
My pediatrician gave me this book before my daughter was born. Similac pays for them. It was a helpful resource to know what she should be doing and signs of problems. While I wouldn't buy it, it was nice to have while she was little.
Only book you'll need.......2007-06-05
My daughter's pediatrician gave me this book at my New Mom appointment before she was born. It helped me out a lot. I recommend this book to anybody. It has all the information you need. In my experience, it covered ALL of my questions. It's the only book you'll need.
you NEED this book .......2007-05-28
I refer to this book ALL the time. It has everything you could possibly need to know in it. It is a MUST for any parent, especially your first.

A beautifully illustrated journal to record special moments and memories in a baby's first three years.
Customer Reviews:
great baby journal!.......2007-08-28
This is a great journal. So cute. I looked at and bought many of these and this is the best one. Not too much detail but enough..easy to write it. Pockets for keepsakes. Came with scrapbooking picture frames for photos. I can't say enough good things!!
This book is great!.......2007-08-27
I was looking for a baby book that would provide some versatility with what could be written. This book delivered. The pages had things like "some thoughts about before you were born" as opposed to "this is how I found out I was pregnant" - etc. It gives you a lot of room to write, but isn't overwhelming. It is cute, fun, and a great value for the price. Highly recommend!
Great overall baby journal.......2007-08-20
i was skeptical about buying this because of what i read from the reviews about it having bible versus and being a somewhat religious baby journal. i do not consider myself religious by any means and none of the versus or quotes bothered me at all. yeah it does say a few things about heaven and being gifts from god and such but its nothing too extreme. if you're a pessimist when it comes to religion then you might not approve. it had places for everything i had wanted to remember for my daughter, and overall i like it very much.super cute.
Very cute with great pages.......2007-08-13
I have enjoyed this book very much so far. There are all the "good" pages for baby memories and none of the frivilous ones, plus it goes out a few years.
WARNING.......2007-08-07
Please be warned about shipping if you need this item fast!!! Normally when I have chosen super saver shipping, they actually ship the item within 1-2 business days of the order if it is in stock. This appears not to be their policy anymore, so if you want the book fast go to another web site!!!

The title, Baby Owner's Manual, suggests the promise and the problem of this cheeky and comprehensive guide written by a pediatrician and his son. First-time parents who are not offended by the observation that "babies, unlike other appliances, lack instruction manuals," will find a rich resource of facts and advice. The book is divided into seven categories of "operating instructions" including home installation, feeding and power supply, sleep mode, maintenance, development, and safety. Complete with witty schematic drawings and charts, the authors answer hundreds of questions about breastfeeding, bed, bath, and beyond. While most manuals focus on tender loving care, the authors chose to focus on baby as technology. The result is a highly useful--almost too cool--reference book. Because every parent knows that babies are messier and more rewarding than this approach imagines. --Barbara Mackoff
Book Description
It s the answer to every new parent s first question: Doesn t this thing come with an owner s manual? At long last, yes!
Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, The Baby Owner s Manual explores the common concerns of every first-time parent: What s the best way to swaddle a baby? How can I make my newborn sleep through the night? When should I bring the baby to a doctor for servicing? Whatever your question, you ll find the answer here courtesy of celebrated pediatrician Dr. Louis Borgenicht and his son, Joe Borgenicht. Together, they provide plenty of useful advice for anyone who wants to learn the basics of childcare.
Customer Reviews:
Great Shower Gift .......2007-03-08
I've given this book as a gift for the last few baby showers I've gone to. My one friend told me that they used this book more than any other during the first few months. It's a helpful book, small so it can travel around easily. Plus it's funny to read through it as if your baby is a car. Great for the Dad since it's written in terms they are used to.
At first when I bought it I thought, oh what a great gag gift. I'm glad it turned out to be helpful to the parents as well.
Great little hand book!.......2007-02-08
As a first time mom who doesn't like to read pages and pages of information, I found this book to be a great quick-reference, packed with a wealth of information... from breastfeeding positions to things you'll need for the arrival of your baby (there are lots of diagrams). I love the book so much, I have bought copies for friends of mine who are also expecting.
At first appearance, the book seems like a joke on having a baby. Really, it's just a smart, refreshing way of presenting the information. Highly recommended!
Tongue-in-cheek book for the technically oriented.......2007-01-13
Some people find babies to be like aliens. Everyone knows they are people, but since they are infants ("infans" from the Latin for "without language/speechless"), they can't tell you what's exactly wrong. Some people are technically oriented like my husband and are great troubleshooters -- this book is for them.
I'm giving this book only four stars because I think Be Prepared (a book for new dads) is a more entertaining and more informative read, and deserves a five-star rating.
Great for Dads- Reads like an old car manual.......2007-01-07
This was given to my husband (who is an engineer) and he loves it. Since receiving it we have given it to friends who are expecting and they like it too.
Entertaining and informative.......2007-01-05
I've bought this book for the last three friends of mine that have had babies and they all love it. It looks like a joke, sort of like a car or appliance manual, but it actually has a tremendous amount of practical advice for new parents. I even have another friend that's put her request in for the same thing when she gets pregnant.
Book Description
Congratulations, you're a new mommy!
You've brought your brand-new bundle of joy home, and there's so much to look forward to: photos; baby's first word; clipping those oh-so-cute and very tiny fingernails; finding just the right stroller; sex again (gulp!); and, oh yes, losing the weight.
The joys of being a new mommy or daddy are endless, but so are the worries and the advice. Jenny McCarthy, the New York Times bestselling author of Belly Laughs, told you the truth about pregnancy and childbirth. Now she's telling the truth about baby's first year.
With hilarious musings on desperately trying to recall lullabies, losing the weight, baby- proofing the house, encountering mommies with superbabies, postpartum depression, dueling grandmas, and still trying to lose the weight, Baby Laughs is the perfect companion for anyone trying to raise the next president, those just trying to get to the next naptime, and anyone who was ever in diapers.
Customer Reviews:
Just OK.......2007-08-24
I read "Belly Laughs" and loved it, but this one doesn't even come close. It is cute at times and it is an easy, fast read. All I can say is it was OK.
Not for a second..........2007-08-22
OK. The book is soooo true when it comes to the stories of babies and funny beyond tears,,,however not for a second do I believe beautiful Jenny McCarthy got fat. Her new pictures on IMDB are georgeous. I think her next book should be titled,,,,,the laughs on you!
hilarious.......2007-08-14
I laughed so hard that I cried through out this book. It's a quick read, it only took me a few hours to read it. There are so many funny stories, I recommend it to anyone who has a kid! I loved it.
Purchased it as a Gift.......2007-07-28
One of my newly wed very young co-workers is having her first child so I bought this and another book for her. She tells me often how much she is enjoying the books and she keeps sending me thank you notes so I take that as a very good sign!
good laugh.......2007-07-19
I hate to read and loved this story!! If you are a mom you will pee your pants laughing. This is a quick read and very entertaining.

Customer Reviews:
I wanted to like this book...but..........2007-09-03
During my pregnancy, Your Pregnancy Week By Week was my constant companion. I looked forward to reading the chapters for each week, learning about my baby's development, and considering different baby-related issues as my pregnancy progressed. The book was user friendly, cleanly laid-out, and easy to follow. Logically, as I was looking for books about infant care, I considered Your Baby's First Year Week By Week.
The layout of the book was similar to Your Pregnancy Week By Week. It included the familiar weekly chapters containing useful nibbles of information about what to expect from my baby and what kind of care to offer him. It covers a wide variety of issues, including baby gear, bathing, diapering, pets and babies, and all the things you would expect from a comprehensive parenting "manual."
However, as I dove below the surface a bit, I was disturbed at some of the content and appalled at some of the blatant errors I found in there. The most shocking example was in reference to the care of uncircumcised baby boys. The authors advise parents to gently retract a baby's foreskin to clean. Every reliable medical source, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, states clearly: don't ever retract a boy's foreskin, as forcible retraction could potentially lead to problems later in baby boy's life. I was also very upset to see the authors' take on breastfeeding, which again contradicted the official positions of the AAP and the World Health Organization. If Your Baby's First Year Week By Week can't even provide reliable information on these two fundamental infant care themes, then I don't feel inclined to trust the knowledge of the authors in any other matters.
In the end, I put this book back on the shelf and opted instead for a copy of Dr. Sears' Baby Book. I would strongly advise any expectant or new mother to give Your Baby's First Year Week by Week a miss.
Excellent book for those with COMMON SENSE.......2007-08-09
This is a wonderful book. It tells week by week, what the AVERAGE baby will be doing. It can be used as a wonderful guide to know how to assist your baby in growth, or it can be used as a guide to drive yourself insane because your baby is not doing a certain thing by a specific week. For example: Babies get their first tooth at the average age of 7 months. Since some babies are born with teeth, that means some must not get them until they are a year old. If you are the type of person who can see the book as a guide, it is a great one. If you are paranoid or a hypochondriac. DON'T BUY IT!
My favorite baby book!.......2007-07-05
I'm surprised by this book's bad reviews. This is my favorite baby book! I actually gave away my other baby books and kept this one. I saw all of the reviews when I was online buying a copy for a friend! I like how the book discusses baby's development week by week and the milestones are fun. The book has practical information and it's an easy read. Maybe to minimize distress, new parents should realize that their baby's development probably won't track precisely with the book's week by week discussions since every baby is different.
Great addition to your parenting library!.......2007-06-30
I must admit that I am a little baffled by the negative reviews about this book. I have many parenting books, but this one is one of my favorites. I don't bother getting too technical about what exact week my son is on, but I guesstimate which chapter to read by the month guidelines in parentheses in the chapter headings. This organization style works really well for me, actually. I love reading the short chapters when I have a minute during naptime or bedtime. I skip over anything that doesn't interest me and use the index to reread any sections that I have an immediate interest in--i.e. rashes if I see a red spot on my son's skin. The developmental milestones in the book have corresponded amazingly well to my son's progress. Sometimes I didn't even notice a new ability or behavior until I read about it in the book and then recognized it in my baby.
My favorite part, though, are the Toys and Play This Week sections at the end of each chapter. I love these extra songs, games, and play suggestions that correspond to my baby's development, and so does my son. The book is worth buying for those alone. I have not agreed with all the advice in the book, certainly. I use cloth diapers and I have not fed my child as many types of solid foods as the book recommends for a baby of his age, for example. But like many other parents, I have lots of different books and I like to read the different opinions and then do what my doctor and I think is best for my baby. Babies are so different and parenting advice so varied that I can't imagine there is a book out there that would completely, 100 percent correspond to my baby and my parenting style. I wouldn't take anything I read in a parenting book as incontrovertible truth. The bottom line for me is that this is a wonderful book to use to get a general idea of what developmental milestones to look for in your new baby and find some creative games to play with your child as they progress through their first year of life.
This book was our bible! A+A+A+.......2007-05-13
This book was our bible!!!! It went with us everywhere. We had our first son and didn't know what the heck we were doing! He had alot of issues in the beginning with jaundice, acid reflux, diaper rash, fifth's disease, you name it and this book answered so many questions for us on whether or not we were overreacting or being safe. I read the other reviews on the book and maybe it wasn't on point on the one subject for that one reviewer but overall, the book covers nearly any problem that may arise and gives some sound advice that worked great for us and since, my sister, 2 cousins, 3 friends and a 2 co-workers...I highly recommend!!!!!!!
Book Description
According to reports, it costs upwards of $190,000 just to get a child to the point that college is a possibility. But none of these studies takes into account the hidden fees of parenthood: the doubling of caffeine expenses to combat sleep deprivation, new membership dues for exciting clubs such as Weight Watchers, and escalating photo-processing bills.
While other parents resign themselves to covering these necessities without a word of acknowledgment, Betsy Howie decided to keep a running account of her daughter's first year of debt: her hilarious memoir, Callie's Tally. "I want my daughter to know how much life costs and what things are worth," she writes. "I want her to know what she's worth."
"I would also like to get some money back."
Describing how having a child turned her bank account (and her life) upside down, Howie debates such topics as whether babies should pay for post-partum candy binges, in-utero rent, and travel expenses incurred while being shown off to in-laws. Part Bridget Jones's Diary (after Bridget snags the boy) and part Operating Instructions (for the fiscally obsessed), this witty chronicle offers a receipt-by-receipt answer to the question: exactly how much does a baby cost?
Customer Reviews:
Laugh Out Loud Funny.......2005-04-01
I loved this book. I laughed so much and insisted on reading passages to my mom and/or husband throughout the book. As a first time mom of a baby girl, it was so funny to hear her take on the first year.
It's very much in the same comic vein as the "girlfriend's guides" books. Raising a child is serious business, but you need to have a sense of humor!
I sympathize with her desire a) to take back some control over the tumultuous event of having a child and b) reclaim and reintegrate your "old" life into this new one. I loved reading the financial "categories" for her expenses.
I highly recommend the book and will add it to my list of baby shower gift books!
Humerous Look at Finacial Part in Having a Child.......2004-04-22
I saw this book at a library display and decided to read it. What a refreshing and unique way of looking at having a baby, especially a daughter. I was able to relate to so many of the stories and laugh at the creativity of the author. Wonderful book.
Great book for a soon-to-be first time mom!.......2004-01-16
Come on Jessica from Michigan, lighten up! You didn't "get" this book at all, did you even read it? She's not actually charging her daughter anything, just trying to figure out what it really costs financially, and even more so the huge life changes involved in having a child. And her eventual point is that we ALL owe each other... in ways that you can't ever really count, and it doesn't matter because you can't count what you get in return either. I certainly owe my mother more than I could ever pay her, for the financial, physical, and emotional sacrifices she's made. I expect that it will be the same way when I have a daughter... in fact, my having a daughter is one way of trying to repay my mother. That's just how it goes. This book made me think, more than anything else I've read, about what my mother's done for me, and the changes that I'll go through when my baby is born. I laughed, I cried, and I have a whole new appreciation for my mom, and for what I'm getting ready to do. I plan to buy it for the next friend who gets pregnant!
This book left me bitter towards the woman who wrote it........2003-09-15
First of all, this woman has "unprotected sex for several weeks" and now she has the nerve to bill her first born for all the expenses. If she made the choice to to put herself in that situation then she should have been responsible for the outcome. Her daughter Callie was in no way indebted to her mother for her mother's actions. This book was dreadful and I can't imagine any mother indebting her own unborn child.
Take responsibility for your own actions, your child owes you nothing.
So I guess Callie will be billing her mother for all Callie's psychologist appointments when she is older.
The Perfect Book for a first time mom!!.......2003-07-07
Loved it. I wish I had it when my daughter was born. Betsy writes about so many of the ups and downs of the first year. I will be purchasing it for all girlfriends when their first children are born!
Book Description
What could be sweeter than the gentle words and watercolors of GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU to illustrate each month of a newborn's life? With 49 stickers to mark such important events as baby's first smile, first tooth, first laugh, or first step, this is a charming and convenient way to keep a record of a baby's ever-changing first year.
Customer Reviews:
Just what I was looking for-.......2007-07-03
I had a great calendar for my son's first year but couldn't find one when my daughter was born this spring. I looked everywhere. Then I found this one. The images tell the entire story of "Guess How Much I Love You" and the colors are lovely. It's so pretty that I've hung it in Simone's nursery so I can access it daily. My only wish was that there were pockets on each page for little keepsakes. My son's calendar had that and it was great for tucking in things like "first baseball tickets" and the like until the one day make it into a scrapbook (maybe!) I would certainly buy this product again.
Easy for a tired new Mom.......2007-06-10
I really wanted to keep track of my babies milestones. As the new Mom of an infant there is so little time. Every night before I go to bed I can write down the days milestones. It is amazing looking back over the last few weeks how much he has grown.
Easy way to chronicle e baby's first year.......2007-05-28
I love this idea and have used it for both of my children during their first year. It is so much easier than a baby book or journal and it creates a simple way to record the little but important things every day both as a reference for the next child and as a cherished treasure to look back upon when they're older. We like this one because of the stickers and classic theme, but wish it had a place to put photos of the child during each month.

I love this calendar. If you are looking for a cute first year calendar, this one is perfect.
Sweet way to document the first year.......2006-08-29
The calendar includes the full text of the book. It is a sweet way to document baby's first year. The illustrations and text are all included, broken out into 13 months (so you get baby's day of birth and first birthday). I find that it's quicker to fill this in than to write in the baby book so this calendar has more data in it than my baby's book at this point. I hope to use it to fill in the baby book later.

Fantastic!.......2007-10-02
This is so much better than any baby book! I hung this calendar right on my refrigerator and this would easily remind me to mark down milestones as my child grew from month to month. It's adorable! Just bought a second one for new baby!
Cute but wish it had a little more room/space to write in.......2007-09-22
I was looking for a keepsake book/calendar where I could record all of baby's firsts, journal some milestones, etc. With my first I received a free calendar from Nestle/Good Start that was awesome, but they do not have them available anymore. With this calendar, there are cute stickers and a little space for a 4x6 photo and some fill in the blanks ("I like...I don't like...I'm learning...etc.) each month. However, there just isn't enough room for me to put everything that I'd like down. The space for each of the days of the month is only about 1x1" square, and if you put a sticker in it, then there's hardly any room at all to write anything. Also, with the Nestle calendar, it was a spiral bound that had pockets each month, which was nice. It was made more like a book, instead of a wall calendar. I could put some cards, photos, etc. in that one, whereas this one, since I don't have it hanging up, just gets stuck in a drawer.
Needs a 13th Month.......2007-08-24
Enjoyed using the calendar, but I don't understand how there can be stickers for the baby's first day home and 1st birthday without 13 MONTHS! We used a color copier to make our own 13th month.
Baby calendar.......2007-07-15
The calendar is adorable! It could have been a little larger to fill the days with baby's accomplishments. Plus, it should have been a 13 month calendar because I started it the month my baby was born, but it doesn't go far enough for her first birthday. Overall image of calendar is very cute.
baby calendar.......2007-07-12
nice little baby gift for busy first or repeat moms. Not intimidating as a keepsake project...I'm going to keep a couple stashed away for unexpected gifts.
