### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Every first time mom should read this
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017*

I love this book and especially enjoyed it as a first time mom. She does a great job describing all the new feelings and emotions that come with having your first baby. I also like how she breaks the book into segments (new baby, settling in, a member of the family, etc.). The boarder categories help you to not try to squeeze your baby into a one-size-fits-all developmental sequence. Obviously there are things in this book not everyone agrees with or wants to follow, but like any baby book you take what you want and make it work for your family!I'm disappointed that this is only available from third party sellers and no longer with amazon prime. It really is a great book to add to your collection! :)

    Soothing and gentle approach
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019*

The child and baby care manual I used for my own kids ... bought this for one of my daughters when she had her first baby.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Evidence based and compassionate
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012*

I ordered this when my daughter was a month or two old. She is just about 12 months now. I turn to it when I am struggling to choose good strategies for sleep and eating and for ideas to enrich playtime. Leach helps me understand my baby's point of view with scientific evidence and a description of how the first year unfolds. I have sometimes read it for encouragement when I am not sure that hanging out with a baby is really the most important thing I could do. Leach emphasizes the significance of steady connections with key adults. And another plus: my daughter really likes looking at this book. She loves to turn the pages and see pictures of other babies, so it will continue to be useful past the first year.
