Overview

Description

Baby’s don’t come with instruction books so thankfully there’s this: reassuring guidance for twelve months of questions and concerns. It takes the first year one step at a time with a month-by-month format that’s easy to read and fast to flip through.

A few of the changes in this latest edition: baby care fundamentals like crib and sleep safety, attachment parenting, sleep training, baby-led weaning and green parenting (cloth diapers, non-toxic furniture, etc.). Also new: tips on preparing homemade baby food, starting solids, research on the impact of screen time and more.

There’s also special sections that cover topics like older siblings, picking your pediatrician, traveling with baby and nurturing the adopted baby.

What we love about it

A comprehensive month-by-month guide with everything you need to know about your first year with baby.

I love being able to read what to expect in a given month. It has been helpful with developmental milestones and expectations. The only thing I would've liked more is if it had more specific suggestions for each stage, such as potential sleep schedules, how many ounces they should be drinking, etc. If you are also using the What To Expect app, they sometimes have different numbers and information. The two are not exactly the same.
