When will my 13-month-old start to walk? Shouldn’t my 14-month-old be talking already? How can I get my picky eater to pick something besides pasta? Sure, I can ignore a tantrum at home—but what am I supposed to do in the middle of the mall? Why does my toddler have such a hard time sharing? Taking turns? Playing nicely? When should we break the bottle habit . . . and what about the pacifier? How do I get my almost-two-year-old to settle down for bed—and stay asleep all night? Just in time for those first steps, here’s the next step in What to Expect. Picking up the action at baby’s first birthday, What to Expect the Second Year is the complete guide to the “wonder year”—twelve jam-packed months of amazing milestones, lightning-speed learning, and endless discoveries. Filled with must-have information on everything from feeding (tips to tempt picky palates) to sleep (how to get more of it), talking (decoding those first words) to behavior (defusing those first tantrums). Plus, how to keep your busy one-year-old safe and healthy. Review: So much more useful than I imagined it would be! SO GLAD I purchased this book!!! - I was reluctant to purchase this book because I was so set in the month-by-month structure that the prior "What to Expect" books were broken down in, but it's so true that at this point, every baby blossoms differently and goes through things at a different pace. So it is EXTREMELY nice to have everything broken down by topic category instead for super easy reference. I'm not even kidding, I flipped it open to the middle of the book as soon as I got it and BAM! I instantly found an answer to one of the burning questions I've been wondering about. That right there was when I had my epiphany that this book really is exactly what I needed in my life at this point. It's so nice to just flip through and read up on different topics and I still get the same reassurance that I always have gotten out of reading these awesome books. I'm SO GLAD I made the decision to go ahead and buy it!! Even with the internet at our fingertips, there is no comparison to being able to sit down and read through a book full of up to date knowledgeable information, tips and tricks. I kept hearing "Oh you don't need those books" but fortunately I decided to give them a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! They are the best!! Review: Great collection of info for 1st time parents - These what to except books are a great resource for new parents. Everything you can think of asking, all in one place. Much better than trying to.google everything and ending up on reddit. ## Features - Workman ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,160 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Children & Adolescent's Health #52 in Baby & Toddler Parenting | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,954 Reviews | ## Images ![What to Expect the Second Year: From 12 to 24 Months - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Vfz6DynWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much more useful than I imagined it would be! SO GLAD I purchased this book!!! *by H***O on April 17, 2017* I was reluctant to purchase this book because I was so set in the month-by-month structure that the prior "What to Expect" books were broken down in, but it's so true that at this point, every baby blossoms differently and goes through things at a different pace.

Everything you can think of asking, all in one place. Much better than trying to.google everything and ending up on reddit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource - I refer to it all the time! *by L***J on September 12, 2012* I used the book "What to Expect the First Year" and found it very helpful as a first time mom, so I purchased this book for the second year. I love it! My daughter is 19 months old now and I still refer to it all the time - often to re-read something I probably forgot! It does a great job of covering most of the questions you might have and I love the beginning section that lists developmental milestones by month. I noticed one reviewer said they did not like the new format of this book - instead of a different chapter for each month chapters are organized by category (e.g. feeding, sleeping, talking). I like this format much better for the second year for a couple of reasons. 1-Children develop at their own pace and there is a wider range of what is normal as children get older compared to when they are 3 months old. 2-It is much easier to find an answer to a question you have or to just sit down and read about feeding, discipline, whatever interests you at the moment. You might need additional books or resources for more in depth coverage of certain problems if they go above and beyond "typical" toddler issues, but this is a comprehenive book that is sure to cover most of the questions you may have during your child's second year. I would buy a book for the 3rd year if it were available! ## Frequently Bought Together - What to Expect the Second Year: From 12 to 24 Months - What to Expect the First Year: (Updated in 2024) - What to Expect When You're Expecting: (Updated in 2024) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1426254-what-to-expect-the-second-year-from-12-to-24](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1426254-what-to-expect-the-second-year-from-12-to-24) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
