Covers monthly growth and development, feeding for every age and stage, sleep strategies that really work.

Reassuring Answers to Hundreds of Questions, including: What's the best kind of car seat for my newborn? How do I know if my baby's getting enough to eat? How can I tell if my baby is really sick? When should I call the doctor? Should I sign my baby up for classes? Should I be worried that my baby isn't crawling yet? How do I cope with my colicky baby? The only book on infant care to address the physical as well as the emotional needs of the entire family.

Review: Book must have for new moms. - I had this book with my first one. Still very useful, especially for a first time moms. It's like encyclopedia about babies! If you have a question, 99 out of 100 the answer is there. Babies grow and learn/do so many new things every month. This book is very good guide to what to expect from each month. You can flip to the page with your baby age and read about what your baby should do in that age. As all babies are different and the book address that in a very suggestive manner. Gives advises what to ask your pediatrician, what kind of food and when give to your baby, what type of vaccination is usually schedule for each month if any, and many many more useful information. Very good gift for a baby shower. I got the book for my self and there fore order used one, arrived in very good condition.
Review: Great Reference Book - I read what to expect when you are expecting and thought it was the greatest pregnancy book ever. It was right on with all the things I was experiencing and explained all the things I had fears or concerns about and helped me to be more excited about the whole pregnancy. I was not disappointed with this book. It was just as good at helping me understand my baby's needs and why he was doing certain things and when. I would never have realized that by trying to sooth my son with every idea people threw my way when he was fussy, I was overdoing it and 'over stimulating' him. After a couple of really bad eveings, and some desperate reading, I found that by going from one trick to another it was working against the very effect I was going for. The book suggested just sticking to one thing that worked in the past like rocking and waiting it out for a while and to not give up on myself or my baby so quickly and move on to anther idea. This book helped me realized that everything I found to be frustrating or scary was perfectly normal and even better, my feeling frustrated or scared was a very normal feeling felt by most moms. If you ever think that maybe your not cutting it as a mom - and most new moms will from time to time - read this book and find that you are doing just fine!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lifesaver
*by H***E on December 21, 2013*

This is a must have for any first-time mom. With the invention of the Internet, it seems like the answers are a click away, so why do you need a book? However, I have gotten so much good advice, reassurance, and support from this book that I pack it up to take it on trips with my baby boy. It splits the first year up into months, with a section at the beginning of each month on developmental points. I liked getting affirmation that my child was ahead, on track, or behind, just so I knew what to expect/look to see him doing next. (If you read the What to Expect when You're Expecting, it follows the same format, so you'll immediately feel comfortable finding relevant information you need.) My baby's doctor would ask questions about my baby's milestones, and having the book around meant I knew what the pediatrician would ask before the survey. Also, this book agrees with my doctor, so when I can't contact him, say at 3:00 am, the book is a ready reference. I have given this book to new moms; I have already bought What to Expect: The Toddler Years. What a great purchase!
